Being sought by police over a crime (6)

I believe the answer is:

wanted

(Other definitions for wanted that I've seen before include "Desired, needed" , "Wished-for" , "Desired by police?" , "Required, needed" , "Lacked; type of police poster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
