On-The-Run Rapist Arrested In Dublin
A convicted rapist who was on the run from Northern Irish police has been arrested by gardaí in Dublin.
The PSNI issued an arrest warrant for Edward Connors, 19, earlier this week.

He was jailed for four years but is now out on probation.
The PSNI issued a photograph of Connors earlier this week after he failed to appear at Belfast Crown Court in connection with a violation of a probation condition.
He was charged with breaching a condition that required him to complete an individual programme of work to address his sexual offending.
