"Amsterdam police issued with packs of cards similar to the ones used by US soldiers in Iraq have successfully collared 18 of the Dutch capital's most notorious offenders in the past month.

The 600 officers who patrol Amsterdam's streets were issued in September with the packs that bear the photos of the 52 most wanted criminals in the city.

The cards help officers to quickly identify people sought for theft, drug-dealing, weapon possession and other repeat offences."
