A man suspected of stealing £85,000 from a Nottingham casino was arrested whilst trying to board a plane to Turkey.
Officers launched an investigation after the cash was found to be missing from a safe at Alea Casino, in Upper Parliament Street, on 24 June.
A suspect was identified and a manhunt launched.
A 39-year-old man was detained by Border Force officers at Belfast International Airport on 16 July as he tried to board a plane to Turkey.
He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of theft and transferred back to Nottingham for questioning.
He was later bailed with conditions, including the surrender of his passport, whilst the investigation continues.
PC Callum Thomas-Shaw, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Thefts of this nature can have a really serious impact on businesses and we will always vigorously investigate such incidents.
“Part of that work is focused on tracking down suspects and we are grateful to Border Force officers for their assistance in apprehending the suspect.
“We work very closely and proactively with our partners and border agencies to tackle all forms of crime, as this arrest demonstrates.”
