A Salford man who robbed a Royal Mail van at gun point in Lancashire more than 10 years ago will be sentenced today after he escaped court before he was convicted.
Andrew Moran assaulted four security guards as he fled Burnley Crown Court in 2009. He was captured in Spain after a number of years on the run when police raided his luxury villa near Alicante.
Moran even had plastic surgery to evade capture. He is due to be sentenced for both the robbery and the escape by the same judge he bolted from.
Watch his arrest in Spain here...

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Notorious Armed Robber May Never Be Released
Andrew Moran is jailed seven years after fleeing a courtroom and living a 'premier league' criminal lifestyle while on the run.

One of Britain's most wanted criminals who lived a "Premier League criminal lifestyle" after escaping from court during his armed robbery trial has been told he may never be freed from prison.
Andrew Moran, 34, was handed an indeterminate sentence and imprisoned for public protection by the same judge he fled from in 2009.
He spent four years on the run in Europe, taking pictures of himself posing with luxury cars, motorbikes and machine guns.
Moran - who has a number of convictions - was eventually arrested at his villa in Alicante, Spain, in May 2013, as he relaxed with friends by his pool.
He appeared via videolink from HMP Belmarsh prison for sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday.
Judge Norman Wright told him "you may never be released".
He added: "You are a ruthless, determined, devious and cunning criminal. You have involved yourself in a premier league criminal lifestyle in all its aspects."
Moran, from Salford, Manchester, cannot apply for parole until he has served eight years and 236 days, and then must prove he is no longer a threat to the public.
He was on trial for a £25,000 raid on a Royal Mail van when he escaped from Burnley Crown Court in March 2009, before fleeing the UK on a false passport.
Judge Wright had begun his summing up and told Moran he was being remanded in custody.
Moran then replied "I can't be remanded I've got a funeral to go to", before struggling with dock officers, injuring a female officer, and then running past more security staff.
He was later convicted in his absence of conspiracy to commit robbery outside an Asda supermarket in Colne, Lancashire.
During the raid, he held a gun to a security guard's neck and shouted "kill him" to his accomplice as he was beaten.
Moran, who was said to have had a "fascination with firearms", even changed his appearance with plastic surgery to avoid capture while on the run.
He was eventually traced after a joint operation by Titan (the North West Crime Regional Unit), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Spanish police.
But in November 2012, he escaped from Spanish national police after a high-speed chase, with Moran driving at up to 130mph and ramming two police cars out of the way.
When he was eventually arrested, police recovered pictures from his mobile phone showing him in a helicopter and holding sub-machine guns.
He used false passports and identity documents on "a persistent basis" and had no fewer than five false names.
