Redbridge’s Most Wanted appeal in the Recorder leads to six arrests
Some of the criminals wanted by Redbridge police have been caught following an appeal in the Recorder.
Six of the suspects featured in our pages a fortnight ago have since been arrested, with one 25-year-old man, who was wanted for theft, handing himself into Ilford police station after his photo appeared in our newspaper.
He has been bailed to return there in March.
Twenty-four men and one woman, suspected of a variety of offences including robbery, burglary and possession of offensive weapons, appeared in our rogues’ gallery.
Another 33-year-old man handed himself in at Romford police station on January 23.
