The UK’s most wanted fugitives have been revealed and stand accused of a litany of crimes including supplying drugs, stabbing and attempted robbery of a £60,000 watch.
A year ago the National Crime Agency launched an appeal to find 13 men believed to have gone on the run in Spain.
Since then six have been found and arrested and currently at various stages of the extradition and judicial process.
Now, in connection with Crimestoppers, Spanish and UK law enforcement, a renewed appeal has been launched to track the remaining fugitives to bring them to justice.
Steve Reynolds, NCA regional head in Spain, said: “Spain is immensely popular with British people who live and take holidays there, but it is not a safe haven for criminals.
“The NCA’s International Crime Bureau and International Liaison Officers work with foreign law enforcement on behalf of UK police forces to track and arrest criminals wherever they are in the world.
“It’s usual for fugitives to continue to commit crime while on the run and these men will be known in criminal circles wherever they are and some will be trying to blend in to the large British communities for whom Spain is home.
“You may know one of them from your town or village. Loyalties change over time and we urge anyone with information about these men to help us find them.
“The UK and Spain have a very strong law enforcement partnership and day-in day-out we work together to protect the public.
“This partnership has been crucial to many of the successes we have had so far in tracking down fugitives from justice in the UK.”
Lord Ashcroft, founder of the charity Crimestoppers UK, added: “We are incredibly grateful to the public for supporting our joint campaign with the NCA.
“By passing on vital information, their actions have helped catch wanted individuals who pose a genuine danger to our communities.”
