Earlier this week a fugitive on the UK’s ‘most wanted’ list was finally apprehended after spending 27 years on the run.
80-year-old Richard Burrows was arrested at Heathrow Airport and charged with a number of crimes relating to the historical abuse of children that allegedly took place between 1969 and 1971.
It means that the National Crime Agency, who are responsible for fighting serious and organised crime, can tick a name off their list of most sought-after criminals and suspects.
But they are still hunting many more - with some from Scotland, or having been suspected of carrying out serious crimes in Scotland.
Here’s who is currently on the list. All these men are dangerous, so do not attempt to approach them and instead immediately call ‘999’.

13. Mehmet Salih
Between December 2010 and November 2011 Salih is accused of being involved in a conspiracy to supply cocaine. It is believed he was contacted on a regular basis by an associate for the purposes of buying cocaine, delivering it and collecting payments. In May 2011 Salih allegedly visited Lincolnshire to deliver a quantity of cocaine that was subsequently recovered by the police. He was arrested and was in possession of £20,000 (€25,000). Salih was released on bail to appear at a police station later in the year but failed to attend. | National Crime Agency

16. Shazad Ghafoor
Ghafoor took a courtesy car from a dealership in Manchester in August 2013 using a driving license in another person’s name. Police spotted the car and the pursuit ended in the Halifax area when he crashed. His wife and two children, who were also in the car, suffered minor injuries. Cash to the value of £80-100,000 was recovered. There were traces of heroin, cocaine and cannabis on the notes. He was charged with fraud, possession of criminal property, dangerous driving and disqualified driving. Ghafoor was also charged with possession of cannabis with intent to supply after a vehicle was searched in Withington in November 2013 and cannabis worth £245,000 was found. In May 2014 Ghafoor pleaded guilty to dangerous driving. He was due to appear at court in February 2015 in relation to the other charges but failed to answer his bail and a warrant was issued for his arrest. In addition, Ghafoor was charged with possession of cannabis with intent to supply in relation to a separate seizure of cannabis worth £24,000 that was found at a house on Kingsway Avenue, Burnage, in September 2014. He was due to appear in court but failed to answer his bail and another warrant was issued for his arrest. | National Crime Agency
