Wanted man mugshot released and everyone mocks same thing calling for ‘barber warrant’

‘Police are combing the area’, one Facebook commenter quipped after police released a mugshot of a man they are looking for who appears to have a thin head of hair


Bradley Finn

A man is wanted by cops in Sunderland, but everyone is mocking his police mugshot instead.

Northumbria Police are on the hunt for a man named as 26-year-old Bradley Finn. Finn is “wanted in connection with offences including assault and dangerous driving,” police said in a release earlier today. Cheeky commenters could not help noticing Finn appears to have a fairly thin head of hair. “Finn on top,” as one person quipped.

“You need to issue a warrant for his barber as well,” one person added. Another said: “Storm Darragh won’t have been kind to his fringe.”

The deluge of comments included a range of creative swipes. One person even said: “He should have easily been caught, he obviously runs everywhere backwards.”

Others went for a simpler joke. “Police are combing the area,” one person wrote.

Other on the post are proving to be very popular, with some of the jokes getting dozens of likes. The quips continued to be relentlessly barbed, with another saying: “Just seen him at the airport getting on a receding airlines flight.”

Northumbria Police’s Facebook post has reached more than 600 likes, comments and shares, which might help to spread the word to catch him.

Another wrote: “Northumbria Police I think you get all the mug shots of your recent criminals and pick the worst one to post!” It’s a fantastic service you offer! Absolutely howling here with some of these comments today."

While no one has come forward with any information about the wanted man in the Facebook comments, the viral post is guaranteed to bring exposure to the case and aid the police in their search.

Finn, or anyone who believes they have seen him, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or via the report forms on their website.

Trump to be nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
Story by Kateryna Danishevska

US President Donald Trump is set to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize due to his peace efforts in the Middle East, according to US Representative Darrell Issa and The Hill.

“Today I will nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Issa wrote. “No one deserves it more.”

Issa did not specify in his post why he was nominating the president - in a subsequent statement, however, Issa’s spokesperson pointed to Trump’s peace efforts in the Middle East.

“Congressman Issa recently led a Codel to four Middle East nations – he observed first-hand and from several heads of state that the spirit of peace and moving away from conflict is real and multilateral,” Jonathan Wilcox, Issa’s deputy chief of staff and communications director, stated.

He also added that Trump’s advocacy is an aspiration of a world without war, and we are seeing this come into focus in several regions of the world today – not just one.

The announcement comes as Trump has reset U.S. policy around the Ukraine war, ramping up pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy while thawing relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times in the past but has never won the coveted prize.

In February 2019, Trump claimed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to reach a peace agreement with North Korea.

Rep. Claudia Tenney said in January 2024 that she nominated Trump for his role in brokering the historic Abraham Accords during his first term.

Some observers have speculated that Trump’s push for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is, in part, so he could get another chance at the Nobel Peace Prize.

Just this past weekend, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Trump’s approach to brokering a deal between Russia and Ukraine, saying, “If this was a Democrat that was doing this, everyone would be saying, ‘Well, he’s on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize.’"

Come on then lads, confession time…
