Burglar Ashley Keast put himself in the frame after he accidentally posted this "selfie" - to friends of his victim.

The 25-year old had celebrated the burglary by placing his SIM card inside a mobile phone stolen from the property before taking photos of himself

But in doing so Mr Keast unknowingly sent out the image using the WhatsApp messenger service which had been previously downloaded onto the phone by the owner.

Friends of the victim who were connected to the service were surprised to spot the picture appear on their own phones and passed it onto police.

Officers then recognised Mr Keast, from Rotherham, South Yorks and arrested him the following day.
