A man who went on the run from his hearing over an armed spoliation at Heathrow airfield handed himself in to military today.

Peter Blake, 57, of Notting Hill, London, surrendered to officers at the stately courts of probity in the centre of the capital.

He is one of 4 men confronting the initial vital rapist hearing in England and Wales but a jury in some-more than 400 years, over the £1.75m spoliation at Heathrow in 2004.

Blake walked neglected from the stately courts of probity last Wednesday and unsuccessful to return, call a national search.

Blake, who was last seen at the begin of the Wednesday afternoon session, is accepted to have been postulated leave to verbalise to his lawyers about a relations who longed for to repel a large volume of her share of the £260,000 surety, according to the Times. Having been on bail, Blake was expected to have been remanded in control had the supports been withdrawn.

A Metropolitan military orator said: "Peter Blake, 57, has been arrested after he handed himself in at the stately courts of probity today. He is right away in control and will crop up prior to the decider in due course."

He was led in to justice 35 in shackles after the decider Mr Justice Treacy was told he had surrendered himself to the court.

Wearing a blue anorak and black trousers he was led in to the jury box to lay in front of his co-defendants, nothing of whom concurred him.

His warn told the decider that Blake had never dictated to stay afar from justice so long.

"He would similar to to apologize to your lordship for the inconvenience. He had things to sort out. He expected his collateral would be cold and he would be remanded in control and thus would not be means to sort out these things that associated to his sister."

The justice listened that Blake walked in to the high justice unchallenged by military or security staff.

"No one recognized him," pronounced his barrister, repeating Blake"s reparation to the court.

Blake certified a assign of breaching his bail and the decider pronounced he would be condemned for it at the end of the trial.

When asked if Blake"s shackles could be removed, the decider concluded but pronounced Blake would right away be remanded in control and would be handcuffed in movement in between the justice and cells.

In Feb 2004 6 men wearing masks, black hats and fluorescent jackets arrived at a Heathrow room in the behind of a security van. They had been sloping off by an insider to the attainment of a poignant transport of unfamiliar banking from Austria.

The men scored equally up sixteen members of staff, melancholy them with guns. The climax alleges that Blake dismissed at one of the room workers, David Westwood, and afterwards struggled with him, discharging his handgun.

Three prior trials had collapsed since of fears of jury tampering, costing the taxpayer £22m. The justice of interest ruled last year that the box should be listened by a decider alone since of the risk of serve tampering.
