On the run in the Costa del Sol region of southern Spain

British expatriates and holidaymakers in Spain are being called on to help catch 10 of Britain's most wanted criminals in a campaign launched in Malaga on Wednesday.The men, whose crimes range from drug trafficking and robbery to serious child sex offences, are thought to be on the run in the Costa del Sol region of southern Spain, which has a large ex-pat community."These appeals include some very nasty individuals and crimes, and we need the public to help us put them behind bars where they belong," said Dave Cording, director of operations at UK crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers, which is running the campaign with the Serious Organised Crime Agency.Operation Captura, which aims to identify and locate those wanted by law enforcement agencies for serious crimes committed in Britain, was first launched in 2006 and has so far helped catch 23 fugitives.Crimestoppers have posted pictures of the men -- who include 29-year-old Benjamin Murphy, wanted for a robbery in which 1.6 million pounds of diamond jewellery and watches were stolen -- on their website.They have also circulated posters and beermats to bars and restaurants on the Costa del Sol.
