A man has been arrested in Southampton on suspicion of vehicle theft and assaulting an emergency worker after police published a wanted appeal.
Philip Rosher, 37, was arrested shortly after 10am in Bitterne on Wednesday, November 13, following an appeal from Hampshire police to locate him, as the 37-year-old was wanted on recall to prison.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: “Philip Rosher was arrested by officers on suspicion of a motor vehicle theft, driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence, using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third party insurance and common assault of an emergency worker.

“He was arrested this morning – shortly after 10am – in the Bitterne area of Southampton. He is still in custody.”
The arrest comes a little under three weeks after police appealed to the public to find Rosher, on October 24.
Police warned the public that “anyone found to be harbouring Rosher to deliberately obstruct our attempts to locate him may be committing an offence and be liable for arrest themselves.”
