The police have released the names and faces of some of the most wanted men in Lancashire.

The five people are currently on the run from police - one of the men has been at large for more than a year.

Detectives across the county are now asking people to keep a watchful eye so they can help capture the criminals.

A spokesperson for the police said: "Earlier this month we launched Operation Hunter which targets some of the county’s most wanted offenders.

"We have made 53 arrests in South division since the campaign started and we now need your help to find others trying to evade capture.

"These are this week’s top five wanted faces in South Lancashire – do you know where they are?"

Please quote log number 0529 of July 20 for any sightings.
