LONDON, UK: Police launch hunt for a criminal who broke jail is no news. Neither it makes any news when someone updates his Facebook page without revealing his whereabouts.
But when an escaped prisoner, whom the British police has been searching since September, makes it a practice to regularly update his page and still manage to evade the police, that make a bizarre news.
According to CBSNews.com, escaped convict Craig Lynch has nearly 4,000 fans and an info box that says “Life is what you make it, live fast, die young!!!”, but the British police is finding it difficult to trace him.
It was in September that the 28-year-old convict escaped the Hollesey Bay Prison, located in Suffolk, about 100 miles north of London. He had been serving a seven year sentence for aggravated burglary charges.
Though police can't seem to figure out where he is, his Facebook friends get constant updates with Lynch describing everything in his life.
The Facebook page gives the picture of happy-go-lucky man who is not worried about the police chasing him. His comments on the networking site run like this: “I’m thinkin, which lucky girl will be my first of 2010!!” or “mmm i just had a 12lb venison steak. Roasted veg and chips, bangin meal. I feel stuffed but still got room for the j.d’s . Hope you enjoyed the meal babe’s. We’ll have to eat here again.”
The prisoner on the run even wished Merry Christmas to his supporters posting “Nearly made it to Christmas. Merry Christmas to the supporters x.”
