Britain’s 24 most wanted men revealed as public warned do NOT approach them
A GRISLY list of Britain's most wanted men has been revealed - with the public warned not to approach them.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) keeps a database of fugitives hunted by the authorities for a litany of crimes.
Last month, they revealed six of the UK's most wanted criminals had been arrested after fleeing to Spain.
But there are still 24 dangerous men at large - including a paedo rapist, a high-end robber and a number of drug dealers.
The NCA has urged the public not to approach any of the men and instead ring 999.
They said: "We pursue wanted fugitives all around the world, but we need your help to bring them to justice.
