    LONDON, Nov. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- A British charity, Crimestoppers, is launching a Most Wanted website to help police track down the country's top sought after crime suspects, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on Thursday.

    The website will list all police appeals across Britain as well as photographs, close-circuit TV footage and descriptions of wanted suspects,

    The public will be able to view the details at www.mostwanted-uk.org and contact police by phone or Internet.

    It will be the first time police have been able to receive crime tip-offs anonymously online, Crimestoppers said.

    People accessing the site will be able to view pictures of the most wanted suspects in their own communities, as well as nationwide appeals.

    Dave Cording from Crimestoppers said the police would edit the website.

    "They have their own internal mechanisms for grading who shouldbe on that website," he said.

    Mick Laurie, chief executive of Crimestoppers, said the site was a "major step forward."

    Set up in 1988, Crimes toppers has received more than 640,000 calls, resulting in more than 57,000 arrests and charges.

    Every month it receives an average of 6,000 anonymous calls which lead to more than 500 arrests. Enditem
