Facebook fugitive back in custody

Facebook fugitive back in custody

A prisoner who updated his Facebook profile while on the run from an open prison in Suffolk has been captured.



Suffolk Police said burglar Craig Lynch, 28, who absconded from Hollesley Bay Prison on 23 September, was arrested in Kent on Tuesday night.

He has been charged with escaping from lawful custody and will appear at Bexleyheath magistrates in London later.

He had a Facebook following of more than 3,400 people across the world.


I suspect that the authorities will now throw the Facebook at him for making fools of them!

He doesn't look pleased, John. I think they must have. Bang to (social networking) sites.
