A wanted criminal who didn't like his official mugshot has sent detectives a new photograph of himself posing next to a police van.

Matthew Maynard, 23, posed for the picture after he saw his official police mugshot in a local paper.
The burglary suspect is being hunted by officers investigating a house raid, and his photograph was sent out in a publicity alert.

Well seeing that his actions and pic is going viral, he will quickly run out of places to hide.

Fair enough, but they still haven't caught him yet. I just think that they should save their boasting until he's actually found.

It would be funny if he took his pic at random police stations around the place and keep sending them in, jind of like the Meteor gnomb:P

'Personal mugshot' man is jailed


A man on the run who sent a newspaper a photo of himself standing in front of a police van has been jailed. Matthew Maynard, 24, had been living at home with his parents all along, Swansea Crown Court was told.
Maynard, of Penlan, Swansea, was jailed for 16 weeks for breaching conditions of a 12-month suspended sentence imposed for handling stolen goods.
He sent the photo to the South Wales Evening Post after it carried a police "mugshot" of him on its front page.
The photo had appeared, along with seven others, as part of a police campaign.
Home visit
But Maynard phoned the newspaper, claiming to be unhappy with the photo used, and sent them one of his own instead.
A week after it appeared on the front page again, he was arrested in Swansea having a haircut at a city barber's shop after officers visited his home for the first time.
Andrew Evans, defending, told the court that Maynard regretted the way he had handled things.
"With hindsight, he acknowledges that he could have dealt with matters in a different way," he said.
"Even though it has been suggested that he kept up a game of cat and mouse with the police, he never left the area.
"It was only on 11 November that the police visited his parents' house, which was where he was all along."

I guess he'll get to repose for his photo.

23?! He's had a tough life.
