In the past month, Herald readers have helped police bring in two men that were wanted and actively evading arrest, one who had been on the run for more than a year.
Now, police are calling on the community to help them find their 10 most wanted alleged offenders across the Auckland area.
This group is made up of men and women, old and young who police want to locate as a priority.
Several are considered dangerous and are wanted on charges of assault, even for attacking police.
Counties Manukau relieving district Crime Prevention Manager Inspector Bruce O'Brien had a message for the 10, and encouraged anyone who knew where they were to get in touch with police.
"I am urging these people to do the right thing and hand themselves in to police and get these matters resolved," he told the Weekend Herald.
"We are asking our community to provide any information that can assist police in locating these individuals to please contact us at their earliest convenience."
*The information about these alleged offenders was correct as at 4pm on Saturday 4 February.
