Police Scotland have stated they are committed to tracing individuals who are evading arrest due to serious crimes.

While Police Scotland’s Fugitive Unit works closely with various partners within law enforcement, both in the UK and worldwide, social media is proving more and more useful in the capture of fugitives at large.

Police Scotland have said: “It is frustrating for the victims, their families and investigating officers when individuals evade capture and avoid facing justice.

“Police Scotland will continue to make every effort to ensure that they are caught and will face the charges against them in court.”
