Crimestoppers have launched a list of the 10 ‘Most Wanted’ people sought in connection with distraction burglaries.
Three of last year’s 10 ‘Most Wanted’ received prison sentences, which highlights the value of the campaign. By raising the profile of the individuals, valuable information was brought forward leading to successful prosecutions.
The campaign also seeks to highlight the importance of being careful who you let into your home especially as it approaches February, a time of year when burglaries traditionally peak. Distraction burglars trick their way in to the houses of the elderly and vulnerable, by pretending to be a type of official or asking for assistance.
The 10 ‘Most Wanted’ individuals are featured on Crimestoppers Most Wanted site:

If you have any information on these most wanted individuals, please contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously, or fill in an online form at
