Police in the Bahamas say they have captured a fugitive US teenager known as the Barefoot Bandit.

Colton Harris-Moore was caught early on Sunday on the island of Eleuthera, a spokeswoman for the Royal Bahamas Police Force said.

It was the latest in a series of suspected thefts of aircraft, boats and cars by Harris-Moore.

He has been dubbed the Barefoot Bandit as he is thought to have carried out many of his alleged offences with no shoes on.

The teenager has been on the run from US police since 2008 and is accused of at least three journeys in stolen planes despite never having had flying lessons. yikes
