The charity Crimestoppers is today (12 April 2019) offering a reward of up to £12,000 for information on four men, wanted for questioning in relation to a series of high-end burglaries across the Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot areas.
The spate of over 100 burglaries, committed by a criminal gang between March 2018 and January this year, caused considerable harm in the communities, with the most recent targeting the elderly and most vulnerable. Whilst several suspects have been arrested, four men remain wanted for questioning.
The four suspects have been named as:
They all have links with the travelling community and are known to travel throughout the UK, including Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, London and Essex.
***Crimestoppers charity is now offering four rewards of up to £3,000 for information leading to the arrest of each of the named individuals***
Ella Rabaiotti, Crimestoppers charity Manager for Wales, said: “It is vital that the public are protected from the harm that is caused by crime, especially in the home. The four men we are looking for are suspected of being involved in burglaries where – in some cases – people at home were confronted by armed gangs, who either threatened or inflicted violence.
“We appreciate that people may be reluctant to tell authorities where any of these men are based or living. However, everyone who contacts Crimestoppers stays 100% anonymous. Always. We’ve kept this promise for over 30 years. When you call our charity’s UK Contact Centre on 0800 555 111 or use our anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org, no-one will ever know. Together we can help to protect our communities and those we care about from harm.”
***Note: Information passed directly to police will not qualify. The reward will only qualify if information is passed to Crimestoppers’ 0800 555 111 number or via the non-traceable anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org***
