British Convict Escapes From Jail And Taunts Police On Facebook by AloyEmeka6: 1:15am On Dec 30, 2009
An escaped prisoner has celebrated his first Christmas on the run by taunting police with photos of himself on Facebook.



On Christmas Day, Craig 'Lazie' Lynch, 28, even posted a photo of himself adorned in tinsel, making a rude gesture and holding a turkey.

Lynch has been on the run from Suffolk's Hollesley Bay Prison since September but rather than hide from police he has regularly updated them on his movements via the social networking service.

Below the Christmas Day photo he wrote 'If any of you was doubtin my freedom. Here's proof. How the f*** could i get my hands on a bird like this in jail. ha ha.'
The same day he said: 'Wow it really is xmas ha ha i cant beleive i made it f*** tha police.'


Craig Lynch has developed a strong following on his Facebook page as he continues to taunt police



'YES YES i f***in made it to Xmas i beat their f***n system and i love it. I love you all my family my friends my lovers and all my supporters and fans i love the whole lot of you x x your the best merry xmas merry xmas merry xmas ho ho ho.'


But Lynch also revealed that at one point he heard sirens in the early hours outside his house and assumed he was about to be arrested.

He wrote an update, saying: 'Oh No sirens!! Its happening.'
However, it emerged the noise came from an ambulance helping an elderly woman across the street from his hideout.

In an update on Sunday he said: 'It is freezin out there. I wonder if i can take the right p*** and stay out til the summertime ha ha.'


Lynch was nearing the end of a seven year sentence for aggravated burglary when he escaped from the open prison on September 23.
Last week it was revealed that he had bragged about relaxing on a sunbed, eating 12lb steaks and making plans to attend a New Year's Eve party in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

He boasted about staying one step ahead of police who were monitoring his Facebook page for any clues to his whereabouts.

Lynch revealed that he was planning to go to the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent to take his 'little princess' to meet Santa.

Later he updates his site to say that he was walking through the centre with a 4ft tall Winnie The Pooh.
His life on the run has attracted a 1,247 following on Facebook.


Fans have been adding messages of support from his site, but others have posted messages describing him as an idiot and have set up an opposition page called Craig 'Lazie' Lynch is a LOSER!

One follower wrote: 'How stupid can people be egging this idiot on? How can people think that this guy is a hero when we've got lads risking their lives every day in Afgan, they are the real heroes.'

Lynch is said to have connections to the Edgware area of Middlesex and North-East London. He has claimed he is travelling around to avoid police.

Last week Suffolk Police said his details had been logged on the Police National Computer and that routine checks were regularly performed at his known addresses.

A police spokeswoman said officers were also working with officials from Facebook to try and catch Lyn

He's a doofus but if he's re-arrested and he serves his time. . .he won't be jobless when he gets out (you better believe it).Do you know how much so TV stations would pay to get an interview from him?Do you know how much he would get if someone decided to run an autobiography on him (stupid huh. . .but people will buy the book) or better. . .he can be featured on a movie or even have a movie done about him with him playing the lead role.The possibilities are endless man. . .that's America man.50- cent and Akon are success ex-con stories.
