Northumbria Police arrest 121 'most wanted' criminals in week-long crackdown on fugitives

Last week, Northumbria Police officers arrested more than 120 "most wanted" fugitives in a crackdown on suspects who've previously evaded capture.

As part of the force's Operation Bastian, intelligence officers and the force's harm reduction department worked across the region to identify where suspects were staying before carrying out searches across the week between May 15 and May 21.

Now officers can reveal that a total of 121 have been arrested in connection with unsolved crimes ranging from burglary and assault to drugs and weapons offences.
