These are the 10 most wanted Britons on the Costa del Crime

The National Crime Agency (NCA) and Crimestoppers have released a list of the 10 most wanted fugitives believed to be on the run in Spain.

Part of an initiative called Operation Captura, the list has been released with a warning from the NCA's head of international operations that Spain is no longer a "safe haven".

The appeal is the ninth of its kind since Captura was launched by the NCA and Crimestoppers in 2006. So far, 65 out of 76 named suspects have been caught.
