What always stands out to me when these fugitives are posted in the Media is how poor our police forces are in giving out information regarding these people.

I'm assuming they have a lot of intelligence on these people yet they absolutely refuse to share it

There are some details within the article. Bit dubious about these drives sometimes though, I recall being in court as an observer/minder in NSW late 90's I think it was and seeing someone in there. He appeared on Australia's Most Wanted about a week later back in Victoria.

Its not so much the charges etc. but more where police believe them to be, people that they associate with, what their interests are, are they on specific medication, are they likely to seek medical treatment on a regular basis, distinguishing features etc. etc.

I mean were lowly people on a forum and have ideas. Surely they aren't all that dumb in the police??

Top 10 ? Breach bail and extortion? Surely people like Dick deserve to be on there but top 10 seems hyperbolic for some

Agree, it seems a tad pathetic.

Especially when you look at just some of the ones that got away by fleeing the country. There's actually a lot more than is listed in this article. Pouffe, they gone and pretty sure most of them aren't even chased.

Whether Australia shares an extradition treaty with a foreign nation or not, investigators will always seek a wanted criminal - last year Australia made seven new extradition requests, while 20 requests continued. Six requests were granted.

They have to be careful given that, if arrested, there's a good chance that these people will go to a trial in front of a jury. Putting too much information out there could prejudice a jury, leading to a good defense attorney being able to argue that any trial is unfair to their client.

Well, yes. He's been on the run for 18 months.

A man suspected of killing his brother at a Melbourne shopping centre with a sword has allegedly attacked another man with a hammer in a suburban driveway after eluding police for 18 months.

So the police saying something like "they have been known to visit certain areas" would prejudice a trial? I don't think so. Have a look at every bulletin released by the likes of the FBI. Full of detailed info. This is about apprehension, not trials.

Only yesterday

Awkward moment when man police want to interview turns up during their press conference


There were heated scenes outside a Sydney police station on Wednesday, after a man officers wanted to speak to in connection to an investigation turned up while their press conference was happening inside the building.

Hussein Ayoub and his lawyer Eidan Havas gave a fiery and impromptu address to the media outside Kogarah Police Station, with Mr Ayoub saying "I haven't done anything wrong".

Moments earlier the duo arrived at the station while officers held a news conference upstairs.

Police were telling reporters they wanted to speak to the 43-year-old, as well as another man, who they believed could assist with inquiries into an alleged rogue ring of tradesmen.
