One other comment of his read: ‘Pay me the £500 I’ll hand meself in,’ ITV reports.
The broadcaster also reported that another user on the platform commented directly to the account, and said: ‘Curtis Harrison, I’ll make a deal with you. Tell me where you are and I’ll give you the £500, promise.’
Curtis is said to have then replied: ‘Nah, you got pics of cats.’
Some comments have since been removed from the post, and it is not yet clear if the wanted man is still at large.
Sussex Police have been approached for comment.
