Interpol has called on the public to help trace a suspected British paedophile over claims he kidnapped two teenage boys for sex.
Commercial pilot Daren Elarmo, 40, was among 26 fugitives in the sights of detectives at the international law enforcement agency. Officers have launched the second stage of a global manhunt, aimed at redoubling efforts to catch some of the most elusive suspected criminals.
Elarmo, also known as Jones, is wanted by officers in the United States investigating the grooming of two boys via social networking sites between 2005 and 2008. Police said the aeroplane and helicopter pilot visited Britain last year, but may now be living in Spain, possibly among the expatriate community.
Other cases highlighted once again by Interpol included gangsters, murderers, people traffickers, thieves and sophisticated fraudsters. Those with a British connection included:
:: Romanian Ioan Clamparu, 41, is suspected of masterminding an international people smuggling operation in which women were forced into prostitution in Spain. He has contacts in Britain and Ireland.
:: Pole Marcin Balcewicz, 29, known as Balas, is wanted for murdering a man with an iron bar in his homeland in 2006. He has not been seen since and may be on the run in Britain.
:: Former financial director Jason Holland, 42, may be hiding in Britain from South African police investigating a substantial 2008 fraud involving the Sentula mining company. He has joint British/South African nationality.
:: Briton Christopher More, 32, is wanted for murder and false imprisonment over the death of a man fatally beaten at a farmhouse in Cheshire in June 2003. He may be on the run in Spain.
:: Hungarian company director Janos Szpevak, 33, is thought to be hiding in Britain from police investigating a sophisticated financial fraud in his home country. He has also travelled to Belgium and Sweden.
:: Irishman John Griffin, 43, known as Fozzy, is wanted by police over the murder of a 23-year-old woman whose body was found in a burned-out caravan in Galway in April 2005. He may be in Britain after faking his death on a cliff top.
