Canada's Most Wanted follow up

In the two weeks following the posting of pictures and info on international criminals who had entered Canada illegally 5 of them have been captured due to the photos. In one case an off duty police officer spotted one of the men after seeing the photos being posted. In other cases calls have been made to authorities by neighbours and co-workers.

In the USA photos of wanted criminals are widely published but in Canada authorities shy away from using the media in this way. It is about time that the manhunt for serious criminals in Canada includes letting the public know who is wanted, why and where they were last known to be.
