An interesting question however and one that I feel sure Sue will be interested in  might be - what do expats think about the reportedly large numbers of high profile criminals living on the Costa's ?
As apparently there is going to be another "most wanted" list published in the near future and I think they said it would actually be focusing on the CDS

In a lot of ways Dave this "most wanted" campaign makes sense .... you mention large numbers of high profile criminals on the costa - but I suppose with a relatively small expat community the number of expat criminals in the midst constitutes a "high" proportion. However, I feel certain that the vast majority of high profile criminals from the UK are still in the UK .....
Being able to target the ones that are here works I suppose because its a smaller pond to be looking into ....
Any campaign that targets catching dangerous or high profile criminals, irrespective of where they reside, has to be a good thing.
I havent watched Crimewatch or similar programmes for years - but I guess each week they have a new list of those they want to apprehend - most of them dangerous to others, posing a high risk - and most likely still in the UK.
The campaign they have here is just another weapon in their armoury for tracking these people down .... and I applaud that.
