Officers have renewed an appeal to find some of the UK’S most wanted fugitives - and one is from Croydon.

Twelve months ago, the National Crime Agency launched its most recent appeal to find 13 men who had gone on the run – all believed to be hiding in Spain or with links to the country and the Canary Islands.

In that time, six wanted men have been traced, arrested and are at various stages of the legal process.

The appeal - run in conjunction with independent charity Crimestoppers, Spanish law enforcement, and UK policing has been renewed.

Jack Mayle, a “heavily tattooed” man from Croydon is wanted on suspicion of supplying Class A drug MDMA and other drugs.

The 31-year-old is suspected of running a drug line in south London and allegedly working with a dark web drugs supplier.

Mayle is described to have a tattooed neck, a diamond tattoo under his left eye and the words ‘Croydon’ inked on the outside of his left forearm.

Police say he may have tried to change his appearance and is said to carry weapons.

Police are also searching for two men from Cardiff who are wanted for Class A drugs offences allegedly organised on the encrypted communications platform EncroChat; Asim Naveed, who is accused of playing a leading role in a highly organised crime group (OCG) that trafficked 46 kilos of cocaine into Wales between February and June 2020, and Calvin Parris, who is accused of being a customer of Naveed’s OCG and selling cocaine on in Cardiff.

Others on the most wanted list include: John James Jones, of Ormskirk, Lancashire, who is wanted for wounding with intent; Callum Michael Allan, 24, of South Shields, who is wanted for 12 alleged offences including: possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine, possession of cannabis, assaulting an emergency worker, affray and dangerous driving; Mark Francis Roberts, 29, of Liverpool, who is wanted for alleged grievous bodily harm and the attempted robbery of a man’s £60,000 Richard Mille watch, and Alex Male, of Weston-super-Mare, who is alleged to be a regional distributor of drugs across the south west of England.

Steve Reynolds, NCA regional head in Spain, said: “Spain is immensely popular with British people who live and take holidays there, but it is not a safe haven for criminals.

“The NCA’s International Crime Bureau and International Liaison Officers work with foreign law enforcement on behalf of UK police forces to track and arrest criminals wherever they are in the world.

“It’s usual for fugitives to continue to commit crime while on the run and these men will be known in criminal circles wherever they are and some will be trying to blend in to the large British communities for whom Spain is home.

“You may know one of them from your town or village. Loyalties change over time and we urge anyone with information about these men to help us find them.

“The UK and Spain have a very strong law enforcement partnership and day-in day-out we work together to protect the public.

“This partnership has been crucial to many of the successes we have had so far in tracking down fugitives from justice in the UK.”

Lord Ashcroft, founder of the charity Crimestoppers UK, said: “We are incredibly grateful to the public for supporting our joint campaign with the NCA.

“By passing on vital information, their actions have helped catch wanted individuals who pose a genuine danger to our communities.

“If you know the whereabouts of any of the remaining Most Wanted fugitives, please tell our charity. We’re available 24/7, so contact us either online or on the phone. Your personal details will never be asked for.”

Anyone with information about one of the Most Wanted should call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or fill out an anonymous online form at the UK charity’s website
