These are the faces of Kingston’s most wanted.

The gallery includes a suspected burglar and a lettings agent who is suspected of pocketing deposits held on behalf of landlords.

The paper has published the faces of all of them in a bid to help police track them down.

Detective Inspector John Turner from Kingston CID said were currently 11 people wanted in the borough, but that these five were the police’s top priority. He said: "We are putting out these pictures in the hope people will see them and come forward and say ‘look, this is where that person is’.

We are really keen to track them down.

"These are the people that we want to find the most, they are the top five.

"I think that they have the biggest impact on the people that live, work and visit Kingston."

D Insp Turner said he decided to go public with the appeal to get the help of the community in finding the people.

He said: “We firmly believe that these persons are either living in Kingston or visiting people in the Kingston area.

"People might have concerns about walking into a police station to give information but what we hope is that by doing this in the paper they can contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

"I hope that will give them the confidence."

D Insp Turner said people are wanted by police for different reasons; some include those with information, those who have had court summons issued for them, those suspected of committing a crime or if their DNA or fingerprints have been left at a scene.

D Insp Turner said most wanted people were usually tracked down within six weeks of putting a notice out but admitted some people may have left the area or even the country.

He said: “This does work and we also have officers out there knocking on doors and carrying out inquiries and we won’t stop that until we have got these people.”

Anyone with information on any of the individuals should contact Kingston police on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
