Wanted man sends in replacement photo

As a wanted criminal, you might expect Matthew Maynard to be somewhat camera shy.

But when his local paper published a mugshot of the 23 year old in an attempt to track him down, he decided it didn't show his best side.

So he provided a replacement. And if that wasn't cheeky enough, he posed for the new photograph standing next to a police van.

Maynard is being hunted by police investigating a house burglary. Detectives sent the mugshot to local media in Swansea as part of a public appeal.

When the picture appeared in the South Wales Evening Post, Maynard sent the paper a replacement photo of himself standing in front of a police van wearing luminous leggings and a policeman-like black jacket — which was then printed on the front page.
