Hampshire police previously issued an appeal to find a man who has believed to be in the Romsey area.
This sparked a manhunt for the wanted man, as a spokesperson for the force warned residents not to approach him, and to “call 999 immediately” if they had any information on his whereabouts.
An update issued by Hampshire officers confirmed that a 37-year-old man has now been arrested as part of this investigation.

The man is from Romsey and remains in police custody.
Hampshire police also reminded residents that anyone found to be harbouring a wanted person to deliberately obstruct attempts to locate them “may be committing an offence and could be arrested”.
Officers said that locals should use 101 to give any information that could assist with their enquiries.
