Explained in plain English

Can French police chase suspects to the UK?

Cross-border police cooperation in Europe is common, especially for serious crimes like murder. French police can issue European Arrest Warrants, allowing them to pursue suspects across EU borders. This means they could theoretically follow leads related to Mr Agner's stolen car and alleged killers into other countries, including the UK.
