Armed robber found in the wake of bragging about arranged stick-up on Facebook

with 0 Comment
This was the Facebook remark:


Andrew Hennells composed it at 7.25 pm on 13 February.

At 7:40 pm, that is precisely where he was: attempting to rob a limb of Tesco, the UK market chain.

Someone had cautioned police around a man requesting money at a King's Lynn, Norfolk store.

At the point when armed police showed up, they seized Hennells, who was conveying a blade and £410 (about $620) in stolen money




Hennells, 31, from Gaywood, King's Lynn, is presently anticipating sentencing at Norwich Crown Court in the wake of confessing to theft and to conveying a blade as a hostile weapon, as indicated by the Telegraph.

Sgt Pete Jessop, from King's Lynn CID, told the daily paper that Hennells was found after officers were advised he had fled the scene to a close-by pub.

He said that the Facebook note gave the indictment a somewhat of a pummel dunk:

It was a bizarre and unusual case. The pictures and posts on Facebook helped us confirm what we already knew.
None of this takes away from the seriousness of the crime or the trauma experienced by the victims of the robbery.
 What are the lessons to be gained from this story?

For one thing, when you boast online about your unlawful acts, there's a decent risk that somebody you know will hail your post and tip off police.

(Alternately,one of your Facebook companions might be a cop. On the other hand even a government operators.)

We think about that as something to be thankful for, commonly! Lawbreakers who are oblivious about the general population nature of social networking must spare the police a lot of time with regards to exploring and indicting. Thumbs-up!

Yet the same sort of dopey, enormous mouthed conduct that gets lawbreakers tossed in the slammer additionally prompts, say, individuals getting terminated.

When we say be watchful what you post, we're conversing with the non-criminal component. What we post on the web may not get us imprisoned, yet despite everything it keeps going forever and can frequent us exactly when we minimum need it: like when we're searching for a vocation.

The trolls whom previous Red Sox player Curt Schilling named and disgraced as of late could provide for us an earful about such repercussions, I'm certain.

Starting a week ago, there were nine trolls terminated or commenced athletic groups in light of Schilling having distributed their tweets, and he guaranteed that "we're not done" yet.
