Federal police are asking for the public's help to catch 10 of the country's most wanted criminals.

Some of the men listed in this year’s “Rogue Radar” are wanted for serious offences but could be hiding under our noses.

Crime Stoppers Victoria CEO Erika Owens has appealed to the public for help tracking down the 10 offenders.

“It is quite simple for people to fly below the radar and assume new lives in a different town or city,” Ms Owens said.

“These criminals may appear to be leading a normal life,” Crime Stoppers Australia chairman Trevor O’Hara added.

“They may be your work colleague, neighbour, or a new person that has moved to your area, hiding in plain sight.”

Graham Gene Potter is wanted for two counts of conspiracy to murder in Brunswick, Victoria in 2008.

Johnathan Edward Dick is wanted for the murder of his brother, who he allegedly killed with a samurai sword in a shopping centre car park in Melbourne last year.

Pham Nguyen is wanted for conduct endangering life. It is alleged he threw petrol of a female driver last year, causing her to crash into a pole.

Last year, 64 percent of fugitives listed in the Rogue Radar appeal were captured thanks to information given by members of the public.

“No piece of information is too small, and all information received is handled in utmost confidence,” Ms Owens said.

“There is no caller ID or IP tracing.”
