Stocco fugitives caught after Australia manhunt
Father-and-son fugitives Gino and Mark Stocco have been arrested after an extensive manhunt in Australia.
The pair were arrested in Dunedoo, in the central west region of New South Wales, police said.
They are wanted in connection with several violent crimes and have been on the run for eight years, in a case which has gripped the Australian media.
A large operation to catch them was launched after they allegedly fired at officers 10 days ago.
'Resourceful individuals'
The 58-year-old and the 35-year-old have, between them, previously been convicted of a series of crimes, including assault, theft and fraud.
Police called them "modern day bushrangers" and, according to ABC Australia, "fairly resourceful individuals".
It is thought they may have changed their vehicles' number plates and their own appearance, several times, to evade capture
