Seven out of 10 fugitives bearing class-A wanted orders had been caught by the end of January, the Ministry of Public Security said over the weekend.

The 10 wanted orders, all targeting suspects of major economic crimes, were issued on Jan 11.

Among the seven detained, two turned themselves in as suspects of cattle stealing and telecom fraud, respectively.

The ministry called on the public to give information on the wanted and pledged to reward those offering effective leads.
