A car thief let his glow-in-the-dark disguise slip - by posing in it on Facebook. Christopher Murray, 25, was known as the 'green skull man' after he displayed a luminous Halloween mask to terrify his victims.
But
when police found the mask dumped at the roadside following a
knifepoint raid, they carried out DNA tests and trawled the social
networking site for Murray's profile. Officers eventually found a picture of him posing on his profile page wearing the same mask and flicking V signs at the camera.
April 9th, Lancashire Police released the photo of Murray as he began a five year jail term.
One
officer said: 'The DNA evidence was clear cut but this man will feel a
prize chump for posting a picture of himself posing with his own
disguise for all the world to see. 'It's
an extremely distinctive mask and you would have thought he would be
keen to keep it to himself - not splash it over the internet.
It just
goes to show the idiotic lengths some criminal will go to to brag about
their crimes.'
Det
Sgt Kathryn Cussans, of Lancashire Police, said: '...We treat any
attack of this nature extremely seriously and will always carry out full
and thorough investigations to identify those involved and bring them
to justice. 'This should
send a clear message to criminals who think they can get away with
committing crimes such as this, that they will be caught and will go to
prison.'

That's a good use of the technology. Proper way.
