The notorious conman’s whereabouts were unknown for six months until federal police swooped on him in the Macedon Ranges on Tuesday.

Notorious conman and wanted fugitive Peter Foster has been arrested in the Macedon Ranges after being on the run for six months.

A warrant was issued for Mr Foster’s arrest in May after he could not be located to attend a court hearing in Sydney. He was charged with five counts of publishing false and misleading material to obtain advantage, 10 counts of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and one count of knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime with intent to conceal.Police alleged Mr Foster posed as a man called William “Bill” Dawson when he launched an “online scam”, which resulted in him being transferred almost $2 million in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin by a man based in Hong Kong.

Federal police said Mr Foster was remanded in custody, and moves were afoot to extradite him to Queensland.AFP Assistant Commissioner Nigel Ryan said Mr Foster’s arrest was a reminder to accused offenders that there was “nowhere to hide” from authorities.“This arrest is a considerable result and a testament to the excellent working relationship between the AFP and Queensland Police,” Assistant Commissioner Ryan said.

He should be a shoe in for LNP preselection

I remember, not so long back, footage of him being arrested on a beach. He was walking his dogs. Just how many times is this fugitive going to be rearrested. Perhaps keep him locked up, that might help.
