A bloke flashing his cash in a snap boasting of his wealth has been mocked by police after a viral X post from Lancashire Police.
Samuel Walmsley is one of 14 men to be jailed for a collective 50 years, and the law decided to mock the 20-year-old with a before and after photo.
In their post, two images of Mr Walmsley were made available, the first showing him holding wads of cash in a car.

The second image, a not so flattering mugshot of Walmsley, was posted alongside it as Lancashire Police mocked the bloke with a "how it started, how it's going" caption.
Since posting the pair of images, the force has racked up over 2.1m views, 21.3k likes and hundreds of retweets, with the bloke now jailed for his part in a crime gang.
Another police post detailing his demise read: "Not Samuel Walmsley's brightest idea."
Said gang were running cocaine and cannabis as well as partaking in vehicle theft and burglary.
But it would appear the gang managed to get themselves dobbed in after filming themselves stealing cards and cash from wallets, as well as using Snapchat to document a van theft which they described as a "good night's work".
The bullish lads even went so far as to post their thefts and footage into local Facebook community groups, with the collection of defendants now serving time behind bars.

Noah Mulligan, 21, Jordan Whittam, 20, Samuel Walmsley, 20, and Kevin Docherty, 27, all appeared at Preston Crown Court where they were charged with conspiracy to commit theft of a motor vehicle.
Walmsley, Whittam and Mulligan were also charged with conspiracy to burgle, while Docherty was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of driving while disqualified and two counts of handling stolen goods.
Whittam and Mulligan were also charged separately on a supply of cannabis charge, while social media mocked lag Walmsley was charged with possession with intent to supply cannabis.
Mr Walmsley was also the individual who took a video of the stolen van being driven outside of his house, and was jailed for two years, four months.
