People living in the Thames Valley are being asked to try and help trace some of the most dangerous criminals in our area.

Crimestoppers' Most Wanted website includes photos, e-fits and CCTV footage of those currently wanted by police.

Chairman of Thames Valley Crimestoppers, John Gamon says "The Crimestoppers Most Wanted website has been most successful in helping to catch a criminal every other day.

"I am delighted that the Most Wanted website is now going to feature criminals wanted in the Thames Valley area.  

"It offers the public another opportunity to take a stand against crime.It not only helps locate criminals who have ‘gone to ground’ but also identifies people previously unknown to the police.  

"The concept is very simple: if you recognise any of the individuals featured on the website, pass your information on to Crimestoppers anonymously either online or by calling 0800 555 111.Simple but extremely effective, Most Wanted is going to be an invaluable tool to bring criminals to justice."

Det Chief Inspector Ray Howard, head of Thames Valley Police’s intelligence bureau, said, "Most Wanted has already proved itself to be a powerful tool in helping to identify, locate and arrest offenders."

"The invaluable work of Crimestoppers, and in particular the impact of Most Wanted, shows how important anonymous intelligence is in helping to solve crimes.

Often members of the public hold crucial information that can bring serious offenders to justice, and Crimestoppers and Most Wanted give them a mechanism to share that information and allow us to act on it."
