FIVE of Frankston’s ‘10 most wanted’ have been arrested since their mugshots and brief descriptions of their alleged crimes were published in The Times (“Frankston’s most wanted sought”, 2/10/17). Police also received information on four others.
“The arrest of the five helped clear up 29 outstanding warrants, and three of the five are still in custody,” Detective Senior Constable Kerryn Merrett, of Frankston CIU, said.
Thirty-two others have been processed for outstanding warrants, with 10 handing themselves in after being contacted by police and others simply walking into the station, on Fletcher Rd, to be charged.
“It is important that those on outstanding warrants make an effort to contact their local police station,” Detective Merrett said.
“It will be better for them to hand themselves in rather than us having to find them.
“Don’t put it off; call in and make a time to be arrested. It is only a matter of time before you are caught.”
