Wanted poster

A wanted poster (or wanted sign) is a poster distributed to let the public know of an alleged criminal whom authorities wish to apprehend. They will generally include either a picture of the alleged criminal when a photograph is available, or of a facial composite image produced by police.

Description

The poster will usually include a description of the wanted person(s) and the crime(s) for which they are sought. Wanted posters are usually produced by a police department or other public government body for display in a public place, such as on a physical bulletin board or in the lobby of a post office, but in ages past wanted posters have also been produced by vigilante groups, railway security, private agencies such as Pinkerton, or by express companies that have sustained a robbery. Wanted posters also might include rewards for providing aid in the capture of the wanted person, usually in the form of money. These types of posters were also referred to as Reward Posters.

Saul Bass

Saul Bass (/sɔːl bæs/; May 8, 1920 – April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and Academy Award winning filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos.

During his 40-year career Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.

Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the Bell System logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's globe logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 jet stream logo and United Airlines' 1974 tulip logo, which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era. He died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Los Angeles on April 25, 1996 at the age of 75.

Ghetto Boys

The Ghetto Boys are a street gang based in New Cross, Lewisham and Deptford, South London. The gang was formed on the Woodpecker Estate and its members are primarily of Black British origin. Most of the members hail from the London Borough of Lewisham. Members are thought to be as young as 12.

History

The conflict between the Ghetto Boys and rival Peckham boys in 2006 drew widespread press coverage. Most of them are in prison. It is thought that the conflict between the two gangs had been ongoing for over 20 years, although it has now ceased.

Some members of the gang are known to carry arms such as MAC-10 machine pistols. A member of the Ghetto Boys fired a shot at the 2004 Urban Music Awards, injuring accountant Hellen Kelly. The bullet hit the underwire in her bra, preventing fatal injury.

The Ghetto Boys were known to have a leader of Nigerian Descent, by the name of Andrew Wanogho known as "Sparks" to the Ghetto Boys and Shower Gang. He had a fierce reputation, where he was known to drop out of school at the age of 13. When he was in young offenders he was known to have the ability to knock out a fully grown man at just 16, which is why he got the nickname Sparks. He was also a talented boxer in the community known as "the assassin" in the boxing ring. Wanogho was killed in 2006.
