Yahoo News Britain's most wanted violent criminals
Gone are the days of criminals living outside of the law on the Costa del Crime.
Stricter international treaties mean it is increasingly difficult for criminals to flee court, or escape from prisons and live on the run overseas.
But despite increasing difficulties there are still criminals who chose to chance life on the run rather than face justice.
As a British man has been added to Europe’s most wanted list we take a look at some of the most wanted violent criminals in the UK, according to the National Crime Agency.
