Earlier this week a fugitive on the UK’s ‘most wanted’ list was finally apprehended after spending 27 years on the run.
80-year-old Richard Burrows was arrested at Heathrow Airport and charged with a number of crimes relating to the historical abuse of children that allegedly took place between 1969 and 1971.
It means that the National Crime Agency, who are responsible for fighting serious and organised crime, can tick a name off their list of most sought-after criminals and suspects.
But they are still hunting many more - with some from Scotland, or having been suspected of carrying out serious crimes in Scotland.
Here’s who is currently on the list. All these men are dangerous, so do not attempt to approach them and instead immediately call ‘999’.
For more information about all 22, you can visit the National Crime Agency website here.

Police spotted the car and the pursuit ended in the Halifax area when he crashed. His wife and two children, who were also in the car, suffered minor injuries. Cash to the value of £80-100,000 was recovered. There were traces of heroin, cocaine and cannabis on the notes.
