  Remember the convicted British burglar who escaped from prison only to taunt authorities via Facebook? Well, the jig is apparently up for Craig “Lazie” Lynch and his social networking shenanigans. According to an Associated Press report, Lynch was arrested by Scotland Yard last night in southern England. If you’ll recall, Lynch escaped from a minimum security prison in Suffolk last September. While on the lam, he regularly updated his Facebook page (which was removed after his arrest) with anecdotes about parties he’d attended, scrumptious lunches he’d eaten, and the comfort of sleeping at home.

  Authorities wouldn’t give many details about Lynch’s arrest. It’s possible that they finally tracked down the IP address or used a clue dropped on his Facebook Wall to locate the foolish fugitive. Lynch has been charged with escaping from custody, and has a court date set for later today.

  If you’d managed to escape from prison, one would assume constantly updating your Facebook status with what you’re doing and where you are, for the express purpose of taunting the authorities, would be the last thing you’d do. Craig “Lazie” Lynch, however, appears to be unconcerned with notions of “proper” fugitive behavior, and is logging on and signing in.

  This past September, the convicted burglar escaped from an open prison (a low security prison that “trusts” inmates to serve their sentences) in Suffolk, England. Ever since, Lynch has been a prolific Facebooker, updating regularly about parties he’s attending (including the neighborhood one event was in), indulgent lunches he’s enjoyed (”mmm I just had a 12lb venison steak”), and even gloating about how warm and cozy his home is (”it felt like the Caribbean in the bedroom”). Even Lynch’s profile picture has been updated to taunt his pursuers, with him leaning in close to the camera and flipping the bird.
