Eight years for 'catch me if you can' offender

An "arrogant" man who taunted police by writing "catch me if you can" on his own wanted appeal has been jailed for eight years. Jordan Carr, 20, was wanted on recall to prison and in connection with an alleged aggravated burglary.

Carr commented "catch me if you can" on an appeal shared by Bedfordshire Police on Facebook in February 2021. His comment was liked more than 5,500 times.

But in June 2021, Carr was caught by police and arrested. On Thursday he was jailed for eight years at Guildford Crown Court after being found guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear or violence.
