A British man on the run sent a picture of himself to his local paper because he disliked the mugshot they printed in an appeal to track him down.
South Wales Police had issued media with the photo of Matthew Maynard, 23, wanted in connection with a house burglary, as part of a crackdown on crime in Swansea.
When it appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, Maynard sent a replacement photo of himself standing in front of a police van.
