A man from Swansea supplied the local newspaper with a mug shot photo of himself because he didn’t like the one that was printed.

The photo was featured in the South Wales Evening post by officers investigating home burglaries in Swansea who wanted to trace him as part of a crime crackdown. When Matthew Maynard saw the picture of himself he sent in a replacement photo of him standing in front of a police van, so the newspaper reprinted it on the first page.

Mr Maynard was thanked by police for helping them in their appeal to trace him, saying “Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now.”
