A wanted man has appeared to taunt police officers by commenting below his own mugshot and wanted poster 'catch me if you can'.

Jordan Carr, 20, is being hunted by Bedfordshire Police in connection with an incident in late January last year, but he appeared to use the appeal for information as a chance to cheekily challenge the force.

A Facebook profile under his name posted the five-word mockery, which has been liked more than 5,000 times since, with many users bemused by the 20-year-old's apparent audacity.

The mugshot and Facebook appeal describing him as approximately 6ft tall and sporting a 'Mum' tattoo on his hand didn't appear to deter Carr.
