Drug dealers, money launderers and serious criminals convicted in Leeds on National Crime Agency restrictions list

Measures designed to stop them "slipping into old ways" include limits on the number of mobile phones or computers that offenders can access, caps on the amount of cash they can carry, and requirements to surrender passports and provide financial information at regular intervals.

The NCA register shows who is currently subject to an ancillary order as well as those who will face restrictions for up to 15 years when they are eventually allowed back out into the community.

The 17 people issued with orders by Leeds Crown Court include criminals convicted for firearms, drugs and money laundering offences after NCA investigations, with 10 still currently serving jail time.

Alison Abbott, head of lifetime management at the NCA, said: "Many career criminals regard prison as an interruption which rarely marks the end of their involvement in organised crime. This is why the NCA has a policy of lifetime management.

"Through the NCA’s Lifetime Management programme we use Serious Crime Prevention Orders, Travel Restriction Orders and Financial Reporting Orders, as an extra layer of prevention.

"They ensure we firmly have these individuals on our radar, especially after prison, and anything that suggests that they’re slipping into old ways can be detected early on."

The ancillary orders are activated when the named individuals leave prison, with a breach potentially resulting in them going back behind bars.

The list is published online so the public, businesses, and law enforcement partners can check on an individual’s status and report any suspected breaches.

The NCA says it rigorously manages these orders in a partnership approach with HM Prison & Probation Service and others and pursues enforcement action through the Crown Prosecution Service if people breach the terms.

Anyone with relevant information on individuals who appear on the list should contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via the Crimestoppers website.
