'Shared, hope you find him' - Wanted man mocks police on social media
A wanted man has appeared to mock police by commenting on the social media post police have used to appeal for information.
North Yorkshire Police has issued an appeal for information on the whereabouts of a Keiron Parker, who is wanted in connection with domestic assault.
However, it appears the man himself has mocked police by commenting on the post, claiming his name has been spelled wrong and his height is also incorrect.
An account claiming to be the 30-year-old commented on the post on Facebook saying ‘shared, hope you find him’ followed by an emoji, and has also replied to other comments on the post.
While the appeal says he is 5ft 7in, he claims to be 5ft 10in.
The police appeal says: “We are appealing for information to locate Keiron Parker, aged 30, who is wanted in connection with a domestic assault.
“Parker is from the York area but is known to travel across the UK. Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace him.
“Description: Keiron Parker is a white male, approximately 5ft 7in tall, with a slim build. He has short blonde hair, a ginger beard and moustache, and freckles on his face. He also has a distinctive tattoo on his right forearm reading ‘Charlie’.”
In the comments, the user named Kieran Parker said: “Is there a reward I’ll tell you where he is I’m skint that’s all.”
In response to another commenter alerting the police to his interactions on the page, he has also replied: “I’m 5ft 10 too they’ve got a lot wrong here embarrassing.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference number 12260030216, or call 999 immediately if you see him. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
