A man who left a string of comments on his own 'wanted' page while on the run from police is finally in custody.
Michael Colin Sturgess, 26, had been a wanted man for more than two months before police swooped on his hideout last night and arrested him.
Christchurch police posted on their Facebook page on August 21 that they had a warrant to arrest the 26-year-old.
They posted a photograph of him, a physical description, and details of how anyone knowing his whereabouts could contact them.
But after it was posted, Sturgess left a series of cheeky messages and interacted with friends.
