Wanted British man dislikes mug shot, sends in new picture

3News NZ

A British man on the run from police sent a picture of himself to his local newspaper because he didn't like the mug shot they had printed of him.

South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, who was wanted over a house break-in.

But when it appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, the 23-year-old was horrified, and sent the paper a better snap.

It has now appeared on the front page and police say the vain burglar has done them a favour.

“Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now.”

Maybe he's not in Swansea. Maybe if you published his picture along with the article some people who in the area where this miscreant is now hiding,you would get some leads.
Publishing his new and old photo would be the logical thing to do.
