Most wanted on wheels: Mug shots of city's top suspects plastered on sides of police vans
These pictures show the most wanted suspected criminals in Greater Manchester, who are thought to have committed a number of crimes in the area, including assault, robbery, fraud and various drug offences.
In a bid to track down a number of most wanted suspected criminals, Greater Manchester Police have taken the unusual step of plastering their faces on the side of vans, in the hope that someone will recognise them and grass them up.
The images have been emblazoned across three police vans in the latest scheme of a policy to ask the public directly for help.

Greater Manchester Police has hired the three 'advertising vans' to show the posters.
Each one features a dozen suspects and will be driven around the area in which the suspects are believed to be living.

'I would urge anyone who knows that they are wanted to hand themselves in to police immediately.
'Anyone found to be helping those who are wanted could also find themselves in trouble.
