HAUPPAUGE, Long Island -- Suffolk County has gotten into the business of publishing true crime. The county is launching a magazine that will profile most wanted felons and alert residents of local crimes.

"Fugitive Finder Magazine'' will be funded by advertisers and distributed to about 200 supermarkets, coin-operated laundries, video stores and other locations. The county says it will circulate 25,000 copies.

Suffolk County officials say the magazine is another tool for fighting crime.

MINEOLA, N.Y. -- Nassau County Police are listing the county's "Most Wanted'' in a monthly publication.

The county executive, district attorney and police commissioner hold a news conference Wedday to announce the most wanted list. The publication -- called Long Island Fugitive Finder -- will be paid for by advertisers.

Copies will be free at local stores.

Police say the first issue has already resulted in an arrest. A Bayside, Queens man was arrested for a rape and sex attack back on April 2 last year.
