Hampshire Police has launched a partnership with charity Crimestoppers to show a gallery of ‘most wanted’ faces.
All 29 of those included from around the county have been charged with at least one offences and have failed to appear in court.
They include ten people from Southampton and the immediate surrounding area.
It comes as the force’s chief constable, Scott Chilton, appealed to the public to anonymously report information on the whereabouts of those featured, pledging to those pictured: “We’re coming for you.”
Chief Constable Chilton said: “Everyone deserves a safe place to live, and our communities expect criminals to be dealt with robustly.
“Those in this Most Wanted campaign have already been charged by police for a variety of offences including assault, burglary, drugs and serious driving offences.
“We believe they are in our local area, and that someone will know where they are or have the information we need to ensure they are re-arrested.
“We will be using all our powers and tactics to pursue them and the information and intelligence we get from this campaign is part of that.
“Our message is simple; if you see your face on here, hand yourself in. We will not give up and if you are on this list it means we’re not far behind you.”
He continued: “Hampshire is a comparatively safe county.
“As with every force, there are people at large who we want back in custody. Not only to bring some justice for the victims of their crimes but to prevent further offences.
“It is important that communities have confidence that we relentlessly pursue such individuals, and today is hopefully seen as further evidence of that.”
Advertising vans featuring the faces will be in Southampton city centre on Monday, Eastleigh on Tuesday and Lyndhurst on Wednesday.
The ten most wanted people in Southampton include:
- Tomasz Gasiorowski, burglary
- Stephen McCarthy, breach of post sentence supervision
- Karl Avellino, assault
- Stuart Rendall, breach of community order
- Max Amey, drug offences
- David Koziej, drug offences
- Paul Rookes, driving offence – serious injury
- Anisa Caynab, drug offences
- Spyridon Papathanasiou, drug offences
- Karol Dabrowski, stalking
