Ex-Puriton man arrested abroad, says Foreign Office
A FORMER Puriton man has been arrested in Cambodia, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
Andrew Wallace, 38, was held at the request of Britain’s Serious Organised Crime Agency and faces deportation to the UK.
The Foreign Office has not given any further details about the arrest of Wallace, who was jailed for two years in 2010 after he admitted bringing two Thai prostitutes to Somerset to work in the sex trade.
