It's now alive again, but these are supposed to be the UK's "most wanted" for crimes such as

"theft of allcohol"

"vehicle crime"

and

"paying for fuel with a stolen credit card"

I can see all those making it on the FBI's Most wanted!!!

They even have a "Most Wanted Competition" answer the 10 crime related questions and you have the chance to win a Murder Mystery Weekend.

You couldn't make this sh*t up.

Hello

It's still down, but it's running on IIS and they obviously have no clue about creating load balanced servers. Sigh.

Location: Sainsbury's Homebase
Date of incident: 10 August 2005
Time of incident: 16:
Number of People involved: two

Two females entered Homebase, Victoria Street, Grimsby and placed items into a bag. When they tried to leave the store, they were challenged by staff. One of the females then assaulted a member of staff and the two females made good there escape.


WTF - are the Police serious? Most Wanted???? What a PATHETIC waste of time creating such a website - JUST BUILD MORE PRISONS in the first place!!!!

Oh, and teach the police to spell properly
