WANTED FUGITIVE FROM WAUCHOPE EXTRADITED BACK TO NEW SOUTH WALES

One of Australia’s top-ten most wanted fugitives has been extradited back to New South Wales following his arrest in Darwin last week.

Paul Paterson was wanted by police in relation to the alleged serious assault of his two-year-old stepdaughter at Wauchope in 1996.

The 48-year-old was released on parole and, after failing to comply with conditions, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Paterson was one of four people wanted in New South Wales as part of Operation Roam “Rogue Radar 2018.”
