A WEBSITE is being launched today to help find the most-wanted criminals in London.

The Metropolitan Police Service and charity Crimestoppers have created the site to trace those who have committed, or are suspected of committing serious crimes, but who have evaded capture.

Met Police Service Deputy Commissioner Tim Godwin said: "The police work tirelessly to catch people who have committed, or are suspected of committing crimes, but we will always need the public's help.

"This new website carries more information than ever before, allowing the public to search by crime type and location."

Lord Ashcroft KCMG, founder and chair of Crimestoppers said: "I strongly urge the public to take a look at London's Most Wanted site to see if you recognise any of the individuals and pass on information you may have about them to Crimestoppers."
