Wanted Oz man asks police to use better mugshot

A vanity-conscious fugitive in Australia has got in touch with police and asked them to put out a better mugshot of him in their wanted poster.

Victoria Police shared the mugshot of Daniel Damon from Epsom, Victoria, on their official Facebook page in the hope he would be recognised by one of their 288,000 followers. Within one hour, they had gone one step better, with the fugitive himself commenting on the post: “Can you use a better photo tho. This is a horrible mugshot.” The police was smart in their reply, asking Damon to “visit your nearest police station and we’ll arrange for a new photo to be taken”.

The warrant against him was issued after Damon failed to answer bail for drug and traffic matters, police said.
