In a joint operation between police and Crimestoppers, wanted men from Salford are due to have their pictures plastered on a van touring Manchester and Salford.
Men who are wanted for a variety of violent crimes, including assaults and threats to kill, will have their faces broadcast across the region to mark 10 years since the independent charity Crimestoppers launched its online gallery of wanted men.
40 offenders from across Greater Manchester – including six from or with links to Salford – will be on show as part of the Crimestoppers Week of Action.
Levi Sparrow, 21, has links to Salford and is wanted for burglary and possession of Class A drugs.
Stephen Morris, 27, also known as Sean Morris, is wanted by police after breaching a harassment order on 28 August 2015.
Antuanne Dwayne Elson, 28, is wanted in connection with a criminal damage that happened in Monton in May 2015, as well as a breach of a court order.
Julias Bihari, 24, is wanted in connection with a burglary in Lower Kersal in Salford on 26 January 2015.
Anthony Roberts is wanted for threats to kill and assaults.
Paul Knight, 27, is wanted in connection with theft from a store on Haywood Way in Pendleton on 1 June 2015.
Crimestoppers reports today that over 100,000 people have contacted the charity in Greater Manchester over the last 25 years, with its Most Wanted website receiving around 30,000 views a month from the public.
Superintendent Craig Thompson from GMP, said: “This week the faces of Greater Manchester’s most wanted criminals will be beamed across the area as part of the Crimestoppers Week of Action.
“Officers will be making it a top priority to search for and arrest those most wanted. We will be relying on help and information from the public via Crimestoppers to help us find those who have, up to now, avoided facing up to their crimes.
“There will be significant activity in each division across Greater Manchester and we will be utilising a number of resources to make the week a success.
“Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our communities and I want to assure everybody that during the week of action there will be nowhere to hide for the individuals that we are seeking.”
The launch in Manchester and Salford coincides with similar launches in London and Glasgow.
Gary Murray, North West Regional Manager of Crimestoppers, said: “Most Wanted appeals to the nation’s ‘arm chair’ detectives – those who want to help fight crime from the safety of their own home and, above all else, anonymously.
“It was quite ground-breaking when it first launched as the first national online source of wanted individuals and it continues to be an important tool for UK law enforcement today.”
