As with any state, though, Massachusetts has criminals and fugitives. There are 7 fugitives who are currently on the run, and the Massachusetts State Police need your help in capturing these individuals. One thing you definitely need to keep in mind to protect yourself is that if you come across any of the individuals on the list, do not approach them, and certainly do not try to apprehend them yourself.
