British Burglar says, “I’m ready for my closeup now”

What would you do if you were wanted for breaking and entering and the newspapers published a ratty old mugshot of you that the police had provided them?

Thank your lucky stars that you no longer resemble your pic and go down to the local for a celebratory pint?

OR

Decide this will not do and send in a more recent cheesy snapshot of yourself standing brazenly in front of a police van so that everyone will know how handsome you really are?

A vain Welsh burglar from Swansea chose the latter option. Police have thanked him for his help in tracking him down and the South Wales Evening Post published his updated profile pic on its front page.

I think right about now is a good time for him to turn himself in and decide on a new career choice, because any guidance councilor could tell him that being a career criminal is not going to pay out for him.
