Seven Dangerous Fugitives Hiding Out in London – NCA Issues Urgent Appeal
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has named seven men suspected of serious crimes on the run in London. These fugitives are part of a top 20 most wanted list linked to offences including drug trafficking, fraud, rape, and murder. Some have evaded justice for over a decade.
The London Most Wanted: Who’s on the Run?
1. Jack Mayle – Kingpin of Dark Web Drug Dealing
From Croydon, Jack Mayle is wanted for running a drug ring called Flavour Quest in South London and Surrey. He allegedly dealt MDMA, diazepam, and methylphenidate, working closely with dark web dealers. The 30-year-old, muscular and about 5ft 11in, sports distinctive tattoos including “Croydon” on his forearm and “money never sleeps” on his hand. Known to frequent gyms and live a vegan lifestyle, he may be armed and dangerous.
2. Daniel Dugic – Fugitive Cocaine Smuggler
Serbian-born Daniel Dugic is wanted for a massive 2011 cocaine smuggling plot involving 255kg of the drug, moved between ships in the English Channel. While his cohorts were caught, Dugic vanished and is believed to now be hiding in London.
3 & 4. Ozgur Demir & Osman Aydeniz – Heroin Supply Conspirators
Turkish nationals Ozgur Demir and Osman Aydeniz are on the run for conspiring to supply nearly 18kg of heroin (diamorphine). Three others tied to the case are already behind bars. The NCA urges anyone with information to come forward immediately.
5. John Barton – Heroin Smuggler Sentenced in Absentia
Sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2003 for heroin importation plots dating back to 1999, John Barton has never served a day. The NCA believes he has links to both London and Fuengirola, Spain. Described as around 170cm tall with dyed receding hair, he remains at large.
6. Christakis Philippou – Mastermind of Travel Fraud
Between 2004-2006, Christakis Philippou (also known as Christakis Chrysostomou) orchestrated a massive travel agency scam that ripped off 20,000 holidaymakers. Offering cut-price trips before shutting down agencies, he left customers stranded and out of pocket. Thought to be hiding in London, he is 165cm tall with grey receding hair and tan skin.
