Independent charity Crimestoppers is today offering rewards of up to £6,000 for information on the whereabouts of three group members wanted in connection with burglary offences across the country. James Patrick Connors, 22, James Connors, 40, and John Connors, 25, are accused of being part of a national Organised Crime Group responsible for high value burglary offences and distraction burglaries throughout England and Wales targeting the elderly and the vulnerable.

As a result, the charity Crimestoppers is offering individual rewards of up to £2,000 for the arrest of each of the three wanted group members. All three travel extensively nationwide but are known to have links to a number of areas including Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and the West Midlands. A Crimestoppers spokesperson, said: “This is a group of individuals who travel around the country conning vulnerable and trusting individuals out of money – it’s actually disgusting to think how many people they’ve targeted.

“This is why we are offering these three rewards for any information that leads to their arrest. We don’t want to know who you are, we only want to know what you know. So please, contact us anonymously.”

If you have any information, please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through our Anonymous Online Form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org quoting incident number 226 of 15th September.

*Note: The three rewards will only qualify if information is passed to Crimestoppers’ 0800 555 111 number or anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Information passed directly to police will not qualify.
