Police have released details and pictures of 10 of the UK's most wanted alleged con-artists.

The rogues' gallery published by City of London Police and the National Crime Agency comes ahead of annual crime figures due for release by the Office for National Statistics this week that will include a full year of fraud and cybercrime for the first time.

Preliminary figures released last October showed there had been 5.1 million incidents of fraud in England and Wales in the previous year, affecting an estimated one in 12 adults and making it the most common form of crime.

Donald Toon, director of the NCA's economic crime command, said: "The annual losses to the UK from fraud are estimated to be more than £190 billion. Behind this headline figure lie the actions of criminals like the wanted fraudsters highlighted in this appeal, who have caused distress and loss to people and businesses up and down the country.

"Law enforcement cannot tackle this problem alone. It is only by working together, individuals, law enforcement, government and the private sector that we can protect the UK against fraud.

"It is important that anyone able to provide information on the ten fraudsters we are highlighting today takes the opportunity to pass that information to law enforcement to help bring them to justice."

The wanted 10 are:

Alex Mckenzie, 33, previously of addresses across east and west London is wanted by the Met Police for being a prolific fraudster and is known to use the aliases of Jaswant Singh and James McKenzie.
