Wanted man taunts police trying to find him with ‘catch me if you can’ posts
A crook on the run has taunted police on their own Facebook page saying ‘catch me if you can’.
Wiltshire Police have been searching for Luke McInerney this week, who they say is wanted in connection with an assault.
After an appeal was posted for him on the Swindon Police Facebook account, he seemingly appeared in the comments, taunting officers.
An account claiming to be Luke commented on the post: ‘If you offer a reward I’ll tell you where I am.’
‘Swindon Police, how much will you offer to hand myself in? Let’s come to some sort of arrangement, this holiday [is] getting expensive,’ it added in another comment.
Luke is from the Swindon area, but officers have warned that he could now be further afield.
Along with posting comments on the account, he also posted a 20-second video of himself.
In the video, he wears a grey hoodie and a black cap with ‘LUKE’ written on it as he continues to jeer at Wiltshire Police.
‘Here’s where I am,’ he said.
‘Look, it even says my name on my hat. Catch me if you can, yeah.’
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: ‘If you see him, please do not approach him but call us immediately on 999 quoting log 54230103071.
‘Alternatively, you can give information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.’
