Suspected paedophile Carlo Dawson from Croydon is one of Britain’s most wanted fugitives and is believed to be holed up in Spain.

Crimestoppers and the National Crime Agency have released a picture of him as part of Operation Captura – a campaign to try and track down 10 people who are thought to be hiding amongst ex-pats.

The 52-year-old is wanted by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of indecent assault and making indecent photographs of a child.

Between October 11, 1996, and October 10, 1997, he is believed to have indecently assaulted a 12-year-old girl.

When his computer was seized in 2013 officers found indecent photographs of children of a varying degree of severity.

He is 5ft 10in with a two-inch scar on his right palm.

If you know where he is call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or online www.crimestoppers-uk.org or, if calling from Spain call 900 555111.
