UK: Users Flood 'Most Wanted' Website

Via The BBC.

An FBI-style website, aimed at tracking the UK's most wanted crime suspects, has received thousands of hits on its first day.

The site, launched by Crimestoppers, lists police appeals in the UK as well as pictures of wanted suspects.

The Most Wanted site proved so popular on the morning of its launch, it received 21,000 hits in five minutes.

As a result, many people were unable to access the site, Mick Laurie, chief executive of Crimestoppers, said.

The public can view the photographs, CCTV footage and descriptions of the wanted suspects at www.mostwanted-uk.org and contact police by phone or online.
