If you see any of these people do not approach them. Instead, contact police as fast as you can.
Because these mugshots show the most wanted criminals on the run from the law according to the National Crime Agency, often dubbed the British FBI. Three of them are wanted for crimes in the Merseyside area, and a fourth for a horrific double stabbing in Ormskirk.
The NCA keeps a running list of the most wanted people nationwide who have been trying to steer clear of the law for decades now. And the rogues gallery includes rapists, drug traffickers, and murderers, reports Leicestershire Live.

The victim refused to surrender his watch and was so badly injured he suffered life-threatening injuries and was treated in a critical care unit for puncture wounds, a collapsed lung and many lacerations. The victim heard one of the attackers say he’d cut himself in the attack, and Roberts’s blood was later identified at the scene.
Roberts, from Liverpool, has a 7.6cm scar down his right leg, and possibly a scar on his arm obtained during the attempted robbery.
