Police in Scotland have provided information to Crimestoppers’ top 10 most wanted list for the first time –with Scots now appearing on the latest bulletin.
The names of 10 known criminals thought to be on the run overseas will be released today as part of a joint operation between Crimestoppers, the Serious Organised Crime Agency and British police forces.
Detectives say the Operation Captura initiative has recorded a good success rate so far, with 38 arrests from 50 previous subjects and intelligence that a number of criminals are leaving Spain and fleeing to other countries including Holland.
European Arrest Warrants came into effect in 2004, making it easier to bring British criminals back into the UK’s criminal justice system. Police are hoping to trace fugitives from the Strathclyde and Edinburgh areas and said it was the first time Scottish suspects had formed such a major part of an operation."
