A fugitive serial armed robber known as the “Skull Cracker” has been in police custody following his arrest in east London after a high speed police chase.
Kent Police, in coordination with the Metropolitan Police Service, have arrested two men in East London on Wednesday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
On 3 May, Kent Police initiated a search for career criminal Michael Wheatley, 55, who went missing after being released on a temporary licence from an open prison in Kent on Saturday.
On Wednesday at 2pm two men, aged 55 and 53, were arrested in the Tower Hamlets area and are now in police custody in connection with a raid on the Chelsea Building Society in Sunbury-on-Thames. The 55 year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of being unlawfully at large.
Wheatley was given the nickname after he brutally pistol-whipped a number of victims including a 73-year-old woman. In the past, he had gone on the run twice and each time staged a series of violent robberies before being caught and re-jailed. He was given 13 life sentences in 2002 for raids on banks and building societies.
Surrey and Kent police are investigating the incident and looking whether Wheatley was responsible for robbing a branch of the Chelsea Building Society in Sunbury-on-Thames.
