A foreign fugitive wanted for heinous sex crimes against a child has been arrested in North Carolina, according to authorities.

On Friday, the Gaston County Police Department (GCPD) announced the apprehension of Elvis Cabrera Martinez, a Honduran national sought by INTERPOL for rape of a child.

GCPD says an officer stopped Martinez on June 2 and discovered he was on the lam.

A GCPD Fugitive Apprehension and Suspect Tracking (FAST) team quickly took Martinez into custody.

“The Gaston County Police FAST team is dedicated to cooperating with local, state, federal, and international partner agencies to ensure the safety and security of our citizens by apprehending Gaston County’s most dangerous criminals,” GCPD said in a statement.

Martinez’s immigration status is currently unclear.

Martinez was being held in Gaston County Jail pending extradition proceedings, according to the latest available updates.

Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.
