The Most Wanted Individuals in Wales: A Call for Public Help
Wales police are seeking information on several individuals wanted for various crimes
Wales, Newport, Caerphilly, Swansea, Cardiff, Police
Newport: Police in Wales are on the hunt for several individuals linked to various alleged crimes. They’re asking anyone with information to step forward and help out.
This isn’t a complete list of all the wanted folks in Wales. South Wales Police regularly updates their active appeals on Facebook, but not every case makes it online. They try to track down suspects before they go public.
North Wales Police keeps some older appeals up even after they’re no longer active, so it’s tough to know if those individuals are still wanted. To keep things accurate, they’re only sharing appeals from December 20, 2024, onward.
Both police forces were asked for full lists of wanted individuals, but they declined. However, the appeals from Gwent Police and Dyfed-Powys Police are current.
As of January 17, here are some of the people police are looking for in Wales. If you recognize anyone or know where they might be, please call the police at 101 and mention the reference number listed with their picture. You can also reach out to Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555111, and you might even be eligible for a reward.
