GANGSTER Daniel Gee had no idea as he stood in a shop waiting to buy a sandwich that minutes later he would be in the back of a police car.
The notorious criminal had been on the run for nearly a month after absconding from Kirklevington Grange Prison in North Yorkshire on May 27.
But on Tuesday he was recaptured after being spotted in the New Springs area of Wigan.
One man, who asked to remain anonymous, witnessed the moment police descended on the usually quiet council estate.
He said Gee had been buying a sandwich at the time of his arrest, from an off licence, next to the Kirkless Hall Inn pub, and had seen him a number of times in the area over the last week without realising who he was.
