Most wanted criminal on display in Spanish Costas

A digital screen displaying the faces of some of Britain’s most wanted fugitives is being driven around popular expat areas in Spain.

Crime prevention charity Crimestoppers and the National Crime Agency (NCA) are using the tactic for the first time in an attempt to flush out suspects thought to be hiding in areas such as Benidorm, Malaga and Puerto Banus.

The 4m-high screen attached to the back of a van broadcasts the faces of 18 men who are being sought in connection with a range of alleged crimes, including rape, drug trafficking, and murder.
