Yes, they can. British overseas territories are subject to the same laws as mainland Britain, with their own regional local laws as well.

Police officers and detectives from Scotland Yard or the National Crime Agency in mainland Britain can be dispatched to an overseas territory to assist in an investigation and to arrest a criminal (and extradite them back to the mainland if needed). British Overseas Territories usually lack a forensic laboratory because of their small population, so in these cases Scotland Yard or NCA will ship or fly over a mobile forensic laboratory and take over serious investigations.
