A NORTHWICH man who taunted police while on the run from them has finally been arrested.

Thomas Howman of Morris Drive, Weaverham, spent a week on the run after being wanted by police in connection with an incident of harassment.

Following a police appeal on June 30 for help locating him, Howman posted a reply that same evening on the Guardian’s Facebook page, trolling them about their efforts.

However, Cheshire Police have today (July 7) confirmed the 26-year-old has now been located by officers.

A spokesman for the force said: “Thomas Howman has now been located by officers.”
