COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Starting next week, you'll be seeing the faces of wanted sex offenders on billboards around the Midlands.

Richland County Sherriff's Department, U.S. Marshals and CrimeStoppers are teaming up with Lamar Advertising to arrest the fugitives wanted for failing to register as a sex offender.

On Monday, two offenders will be featured at several locations.  Once they're arrested, the ads will be updated.

If you recognize one of the fugitives, you're encouraged to contact CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
