A wanted suspect appears to have openly challenged Wiltshire police in the UK, claiming they could not locate him. Police have urgently searched for Luke McInerney this week because he is wanted in connection with an assault case. Although he is from the Swindon area, law enforcement officials have warned he may have ventured outside their immediate jurisdiction.
Following Swindon Police’s appeal for information on Luke McInerney’s whereabouts on their Facebook page, a person claiming to be Luke responded in the comments, taunting law enforcement.
A comment from the account, believed to be from Luke, said: “If you offer a reward, I will tell you where I am.”
‘Swindon Police, how much are you willing to offer to hand me in? Let us come to an arrangement; this vacation is getting expensive,” Luke added in another comment.
According to The Metro News, Luke is from the Swindon area, but officers have warned he could now be further away. In addition to posting comments on the account, he also posted a 20-second video of himself. In the video he wears a gray hoodie and a black cap with ‘LUKE’ written on it as he continues to mock Wiltshire Police.
“Here I am,” he said.
‘Look, it even has my name on my hat. Catch me if you can, yeah?
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: ‘If you see him, please do not approach him, but call us immediately on 999, quoting log 54230103071.
“Alternatively, you can report information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
