MEMBERS of the public in the Thames Valley can play a greater role in bringing serious offenders to justice with the launch of a Most Wanted website for the region.

It allows members of the public to look at pictures and E-fits and view CCTV footage of people currently wanted by the police in Thames Valley. The site is run by the independent charity Crimestoppers, which allows people to give information about crime anonymously by telephone or via the Crimestoppers website.

Launched in late 2005 the national Most Wanted site has successfully resulted in the arrest of more than 900 criminals, for offences ranging from murder, rape and drug smuggling to robbery and assault.

Members of the public can find the gallery of Thames Valley?s Most Wanted criminals at: “a href=”http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/in-your-area/south-east/thames-valley”target=”_blank”>http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/in-your-area/south-east/thames-valley and click on Most Wanted.

The Most Wanted website for this region is being officially launched at the Thames Valley Police Open Day at Sulhamstead, West Berkshire, on 4 September.
