Most wanted criminals in Portsmouth and Hampshire being hunted by police including thieves and thugs

These people are wanted by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, and Crimestoppers, for various different offences. These include grievous bodily harm, assault, theft, and breaching court or bail conditions.

All of these offenders have links to different parts of the county. All reports made to Crimestoppers can be made anonymously. Emily van der Lely, Crimestoppers regional manager, said: “I am proud that our charity gives people the power to speak up and stop crime 100 per cent anonymously.

“You can call us on freephone 0800 555 111 or visit Crimestoppers-uk.org/most-wanted. As a charity, we ensure you won’t have to give your personal details, just tell us what you know, and we’ll pass it on for you.”
