Yes, I know I do go on, but this is just such a corking story I had to flag it up.
I have previously warned of the dangers of Facebook. And then this happens:
Andrew Hennells, a 31-year old would-be robber from King's Lynn, posted on Facebook that he was 'Doing. Tesco. Over' an hour before he did just that, and then 'liked' his own post.
A member of the public who read the entry tipped off the police who found Hennells in his local pub with the cash he had taken at knifepoint.
As Radio 5 Live reported the police to say: 'The Facebook entry was helpful'.
In this case Hennells, who is now awaiting sentencing, got exactly what he deserved. But it, again, shows the reach that social media has and how you should think before posting...
