Today Police have launched Operation Bluespruce, a campaign targeting high-risk domestic abuse suspects in Birmingham.

From today and up until Christmas, we will be releasing images of suspects across our social media platforms and are asking you for your help to get these individuals into custody.

They are all wanted in connection with serious incidents including assault, false imprisonment and stalking.

Detective Superintendent Simon Inglis, from the Public Protection Unit, said: “As well as publishing these images on our social media channels, officers will be working behind the scenes to trace these suspects.

“We hope that by circulating these images, it will encourage people to get in touch with information on where these individuals might be and also to encourage the suspects to hand themselves in.

“The offenders targeted are deemed high risk based on the level of harm they pose to potential victims and their families.

“We are asking for the public’s help to find these dangerous individuals, because protecting the public is always our main priority.”
