Police post bad boy’s mugshots on Facebook

BRIDGEVILLE: Police in a Pennsylvania town sent an armed robbery suspect a message on Facebook – and it’s not because they want to be friends.

Bridgeville police say 32-year-old Robert Watkins III has been identified as the suspect in the Thanksgiving Day robbery of a Gulf station.

The police post, which includes the message, “It’s only a matter of time before we find you”, shows several pictures of Watkins and says he’s been identified through surveillance footage at the scene.

The police believe Watkins may be headed to his hometown of Meadville, about 160km north of Bridgeville in western Pennsylvania.

Online court records show police were still looking for Watkins yesterday on an arrest warrant for robbery and other charges.
