The National Crime Agency (NCA) has released a list of their most wanted individuals, including 25 people accused of crimes such as murder, rape, and drug smuggling. Disturbingly, it is believed that five of these wanted individuals may currently be in London. Here are their names and backgrounds:
- Jack Mayle: Originally from Croydon, Jack Mayle is wanted on suspicion of supplying MDMA, methylphenidate (a pharmaceutical drug), and diazepam. He is accused of running a drug line known as “Flavour Quest” in South London and Surrey. Mayle, around 30 years old, stands at 5 feet 11 inches with a muscular build. He has distinctive tattoos including a diamond under his left eye, a “Croydon” tattoo on his left forearm, and a hand tattoo that reads “money never sleeps.” Mayle is known to carry weapons and is described as a regular gym-goer and a vegan.
- John Barton: In 2003, John Barton was sentenced to 20 years in absentia for conspiring to import a commercial amount of heroin into the UK. The conspiracy occurred between 1999 and 2000, but Barton has eluded justice. He is believed to have connections in Fuengirola, Spain, as well as London. Barton is described as approximately 170cm tall, of medium build, with dyed receding hair.
- Ersin Mustafa: A former employee of JP Morgan Cazenove, Ersin Mustafa is suspected of insider trading. During his tenure at the London branch between 2006 and 2008, he allegedly obtained information about future acquisitions and mergers, benefiting others involved in trading based on this information. The group he was part of reportedly made around £2.5 million. Mustafa was arrested by City of London Police in 2008 but vanished around December 2009. He is believed to be around 165cm tall, stocky, with dark hair and tanned skin.
- Daniel Dugic: Originally from Serbia, Daniel Dugic is suspected of involvement in a plot to import 255 kilos of cocaine into the UK in 2011. While others involved in the conspiracy were convicted, Dugic managed to evade capture. He is thought to be hiding in London. The conspiracy involved a small UK vessel meeting a commercial container ship in the English Channel to transfer the drugs.
- Christakis Philippou (Christakis Chrysostomou): Philippou is suspected of being part of a travel fraud scheme between 2004 and 2006. He, along with co-defendants, allegedly acquired or established travel agency businesses, offering cut-price holidays that legitimate companies couldn’t match. These businesses ceased operations, leaving around 20,000 customers without their holidays. Philippou is believed to be in London, approximately 165cm tall, with grey receding hair and tan skin.
The NCA has issued a warning to the public not to approach these individuals but to report any information about their whereabouts to the authorities. These fugitives are considered dangerous and should only be dealt with by law enforcement agencies.
