A teenage fugitive known as the "barefoot bandit" was arrested early Sunday on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, police said.
Colton Harris-Moore, 19, was arrested in the town of Harbor Island, police Sgt. Paul Lewis said. Harris-Moore was being transported to Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday.
The FBI, however, did not immediately confirm Harris-Moore was in custody, saying it wanted to positively identify him through fingerprints first.
Royal Bahamian police are "absolutely confident they have him," said Steve Dean, assistant special agent in charge for the FBI's Seattle, Washington, office. The FBI will compare fingerprints to determine whether the suspect is Harris-Moore upon his arrival in Nassau, Dean said.
Harris-Moore is suspected of flying a stolen plane to the Bahamas. He has been on the run since 2008, when he escaped from a juvenile halfway house in Renton, Washington, after pleading guilty to three counts of burglary and being sentenced to three years. He was called the "barefoot bandit" because he was without shoes when he allegedly broke into houses.
He has been linked to a series of home break-ins in Oregon and Washington, but authorities believed he moved eastward recently. He was suspected of breaking into airports in South Dakota and Nebraska, and also suspected in the thefts of several cars.
Authorities in Madison County, Nebraska, issued an arrest warrant for him last month on charges of burglary and theft by unlawful taking or deception. The affidavit supporting the warrant details a crime spree fitting the alleged pattern of the elusive teen, who has amassed thousands of followers on Facebook. And when he was caught he was still barefoot.







Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time last night to win soccer’s World Cup for the first time in a match that set a record for yellow cards.

Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute at Soccer City in Johannesburg after the match finished scoreless in regulation. The game featured 14 yellow cards, a record for a World Cup final. Nine of them went to the Dutch, who had John Heitinga sent off for his second caution.
Spain added the global title to the European Championship it won two years ago to become soccer’s first new world champion since France in 1998. The Spanish recovered from a loss in their opening game with Switzerland that had made it difficult for the team to make the knockout stages. Power to the Octopus.
