Lancashire Police arrest ‘most wanted’ criminal after he taunted them on Facebook
‘The moral of this story is that it’s probably not a wise move. We are after all, the police’
In what could be the best example of karma ever, a man has been tracked down and arrested after he taunted Lancashire Police on Facebook.
David Holmes commented under the force’s social media post that listed him as one of the force’s most wanted criminals, telling them to ‘do their jobs’ and find him.
He wrote: “Do your job properly then and come find me.”

Lancashire Police swiftly replied to his sarcastic jibe, writing back in a jolly manner: “Hi David. We’d advise you do the right thing and hand yourself in. We have an excellent track record for these sorts of things you see, so we think you’ll find that sooner or later we will ‘come and find you.'”
And, true to their word, the force took to Facebook just under twenty-four hours later to announce that they had managed to track down and arrest the twenty-seven year old fugitive.
Writing ‘That awkward moment when we do actually arrest and charge you’, their post has since gained thousands of comments and shares.
Holmes, who had been on the wanted list since August, has now been charged with harassment and breaching a restraining order.
He was featured as part of Operation Hunter, launched by Lancashire Police in July to target the county’s most wanted people.

Dad accidentally buys 60 pairs of reading glasses
‘He thought the packaging was a little excessive’
A dad accidentally bought 60 pairs of reading glasses after misreading an order.
The dad has gone viral on Twitter for his massive order of reading spectacles. He was left baffled as to why the parcel was so full when it arrived at his address on Sunday March 26th, leaving his son in stitches.
Tom Arnold, 61, from Perranporth in Cornwall, thought he’d only ordered one pack to share with his wife — not a whole shop’s worth. Radio and podcast host, Chris Arnold could not stop laughing as he witnessed his dad open the parcel with a bewildered look on his face.
The viral tweet read: “My Dad has accidentally bought 60 pairs of reading glasses off the internet after misreading the quantity of his order.”
Speaking about the mishap, Chris said: “I just found it hilarious, he said he thought the packaging was excessive, then he opened it up and the box was full.
“He seemed confused as to what had happened. We looked at the order and he had ordered 12 packs instead of one, as they were for him and my mum, plus spares. The order came to over £100 but he’s managed to get a refund!”
He described the incident as ‘very funny indeed’, saying it ‘cheered up’ him and his family. As the tweet went viral and accumulated thousands of likes, Specsavers jumped in on the banter as they tweeted: “Do we even need to say it?”
Chris joked in reply: “At this point guys, I don’t think you do. P.S. Are you interested in buying 59 pairs of reading glasses off my dad?”
They hilariously replied: “If you can’t shift them you might want to consider adding an extra 118 eyes to your dad’s face.”
Specsavers tweeted an update on the situation: “The glasses have been safely returned, but Chris’ dad deserves a bit of good luck. How about a free eye test and a brand-new pair of glasses for good measure?
“You really should’ve gone to Specsavers.”
