UK National Crime Agency has released a photos of 10 alleged con-artists
wanted in relation to fraud cases across Britain. The album was
compiled ahead of fresh figures that are expected to reveal the huge
scale of fraud in the UK. The details of the alleged criminals which has
been published by the NCA and the City of London Police, were shared in
the hope of arresting those wanted in connection with dozens of crimes
nationwide.
Among these suspected fraudsters is 41-year-old
Nigerian Bayo Lawrence Anoworin. He is wanted by Lincolnshire Police
over an alleged scam by a gang that stole more than ยฃ12million from NHS
Trusts in the UK and Guernsey between January 2011 and July 2012.
“The annual losses to the UK from fraud are estimated to be more than
ยฃ190 billion. Behind this headline figure lie the actions of criminals
like the wanted fraudsters highlighted in this appeal, who have caused
distress and loss to people and businesses up and down the country. Law
enforcement cannot tackle this problem alone. It is only by working
together, individuals, law enforcement, Government and the private
sector that we can protect the UK against fraud. It is important that
anyone able to provide information on the ten fraudsters we are
highlighting today takes the opportunity to pass that information to law
enforcement to help bring them to justice” – Donald Toon, director of
the NCA’s Economic Crime Command said.
