These are the faces of 21 people who make up the National Crime Agency's 'most wanted' list.

They are being sought in connection with a range of serious crimes - including murder, rape and supplying huge amounts of drugs.

This is an updated version of the list we featured back in December and since then Michael Paul Moogan has been removed from the list.

Croxteth man Michael Paul Moogan, 35, was named as wanted by police after a raid on the Cafe De Ketel in Rotterdam in 2013.

Officers seized two handguns , a radio scanner, hundreds of thousands of Euros, a cash-counting machine and dozens of mobile phones inside the coffee shop.

During other raids as part of the same police operation in Rotterdam police seized two machine guns - the type of weapons used by drug cartels.

At the time of the raid, only one of the men, Robert Hamilton, 71, from Manchester, could be found. He was jailed for eight years in 2014 after pleading guilty to drug charges.

After the raid in November 2013, Moogan was named as a wanted man. The NCA said they wanted to speak to him in relation to a plot to flood the UK with cocaine.
