A PENSIONER suspected of abusing four children in the 1980s has been arrested in Spain.
Dennis Batty, now 71, was made subject of a European arrest warrant last September over allegations of indecently assaulting a male aged 16 on at least two occasions, committing an act of gross indecency towards a boy aged under 14, and indecently assaulting two girls aged under 14, in York.
The National Crime Agency confirmed on Wednesday evening that Batty had been arrested in Spain.
North Yorkshire Police said they were "awaiting a further update from the NCA following liaison with the Spanish authorities".
