Appeal To Find 'Dangerous' Foreign Suspects

Appeal To Find 'Dangerous' Foreign Suspects

Police are appealing for help in finding 17 "dangerous" foreign suspects thought to be on the run in the UK.

One is wanted for battering a man to death with a baseball bat for arguing with his girlfriend.

Another is suspected of the human trafficking of teenage girls, a third man is a convicted rapist.

The appeal is a last-ditch bid to find the suspects after Scotland Yard's extradition squad failed to track them down.

Detective Sergeant Peter Rance said: "We believe these people are dangerous, so taking them out of our communities and putting them before the courts is of paramount importance.

"I urge the public to look closely at these pictures.

"Do you recognise these men? It may be that they live next door to you, or you see them regularly elsewhere in your community."

All the fugitives are wanted by authorities across Europe and most have links to London.

Anyone with information on the suspects is urged to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Anyone who sees them is urged not to approach them, but call police on 999.
