Have you seen these people?

If you see any of these people, call the number of the law enforcement agency listed under the suspect’s name.  Do not approach or try to apprehend the person.  The Metropolitan Crime Commission will pay a reward of up to $500 for information leading to an arrest.  Callers can remain anonymous and do not have to testify in court.
