Wanted man who calls himself 'Jim Carrey lookalike' taunts police on Facebook

A wanted man who believes he looks like Hollywood actor Jim Carrey has mocked police on Facebook by asking if there is a reward for his arrest.

Devon Bentley, 19, is currently wanted by Staffordshire Police in connection with suspected burglary offences. But he doesn't seem to be too concerned, after repeatedly responding to a local news site's social media post on the police appeal.

The 19-year-old from Normacot, who is still at large, wrote on Stoke-on-Trent Live's page: "Is there a reward for his whereabouts? I'm a B-Tech Jim Kerry bro."

He later added: "I'm here sir."

The comments section was full of replies from Stoke Live readers. Stefan Gidman said. "Some people think they're a cut above the law." Sharon Crawford said: "Stoke-on-Trent's soon-to-be hide-and-seek champion."

Devon Bentley is on recall to prison, and anyone who knows his whereabouts should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Anyone with any information can also contact Staffordshire Police through their Live Chat function on their website.
