The US Embassy says close collaboration between local and US forces allowed for the recent capture of a fugitive.

Farzan Mohammed was held on April 9th in Princes Town.

He is wanted in the state of Pennsylvania for numerous counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual abuse, rape, and child pornography.

The Embassy says the arrest was made by federal agents representing the US Marshal Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Diplomatic Security Service, working closely with units from the TTPS.

It says Mohammed was arrested on a Provisional Arrest Warrant and will be held in custody as the extradition process is finalized for his eventual return to the US to face justice for his alleged crimes.
