UK ‘most wanted’ website launched
Published November 17th, 2005
An FBI-style website aimed at tracking the UK’s most wanted crime suspects is being launched by Crimestoppers.
The charity’s Most Wanted site will list all police appeals across the UK as well as photographs, CCTV footage and descriptions of wanted suspects.
The public will be able to view these details at mostwanted-uk.org and contact police by phone or online.
It will be the first time police have been able to receive crime tip-offs anonymously online, Crimestoppers says.
Crimestoppers was set up in 1988, since when it has received more than 640,000 calls, resulting in more than 57,000 arrests and charges.
Every month it receives an average of 6,000 anonymous calls which lead to more than 500 arrests.
