Wanted man taunts cops on Facebook, caught five minutes later
ROLANDO Lozano, a wanted man, decided to taunt the police on Facebook as they searched for him. We don't think he'll taunt them a second time.
AN alleged burglar has been arrested five minutes after taunting police with a "catch me if you can" message on their Facebook page.
Rosenberg Police were hunting Rolando Lozano because he and his brother Damien were believed to be responsible for breaking into 17 cars in the Seabourne Meadows area of Rosenberg, in Texas in the US.
The police department appealed for help from the public by posting Lozano's picture to their Facebook page and urging Facebook-users to share the image.
Shortly after the brazen suspect taunted them with a 'catch me if you can' post.
"I'm innocent, catch me if u can," he wrote.
Perhaps not such a smart move.
Within five minutes, he was arrested at a relative's house.
"Rolando Lozano … we caught you five minutes after you posted this … Thank you to the community for your help!!!" Rosenberg Police then posted to their Facebook page in reply to Lozano's original comment.
The department's post has been liked thousands of times and attracted hundreds of comments - almost all of which are laughing at the 'fool'.
We don't think he'll taunt them a second time.
