DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: HE TAGGED HIMSELF IN FACEBOOK PHOTO

by Hazed

Last July trouble flared up in Belfast during the “marching season” and there was a riot. People threw bricks, bottles, masonry and other items at police, resulting in 29 cops being injured.

CCTV footage allowed police to identify some of the rioters, but many of them had their faces covered. But one rioter made things easy for the police – he tagged himself in a post on Facebook as one of the rioters!

Robert Darragh was visible in the videos throwing various items at the police, but he had his hood up and his face was covered. He was also pictured sitting on a wall with his face uncovered he got involved in the riot, wearing the same clothes as the rioting figure.

After the riot, police trawled social media looking for images that might uncover the identity of the hooded rioters, and found that Darragh had tagged himself – not only in the picture that showed him sitting on the wall, but also as one of the rioting men.

Busted!

He has been jailed for two years.
