The National Crime Agency have released images of the the UK’s 27 most wanted fugitives.

It is hoped the nation-wide fugitive sweep will help capture those who pose a threat to the country’s security.

Among the photos that the law enforcement agency have unveiled are images of murderers, rapists and drug dealers who are still on the run.  

It is hoped that in publishing their photos, criminals on the run can be identified and brought to justice. 

Among those on the run are Dominic McInally, the alleged leader of a drug-trafficking gang and Shane O’Brien, who allegedly killed Josh Hanson, 21, in 2015. 

Also on the list is Mark Quinn who is wanted by Police Scotland on suspicion of supplying amphetamine between August 2013 and April 2014.

If any member of the public is able to identify any of the fugitives pictured they are asked to call independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

On their website the National Crime Agency wrote: ‘Crimestoppers guarantee your anonymity; no-one will ever know who you are, you will not have to give a statement to the Police and you will never have to go to court.’
