Surrey Police send wanted criminal a hilarious Happy Birthday Message

Surrey Police used their official twitter account to wish a wanted criminal who skipped a meeting with his probation officer a happy 21st birthday.

The rather unusual approach to catching James Hanrahan quickly went viral.

Most twitter users gave the tweet the thumbs up, with users calling it 'the best tweet of the day' and 'much more engaging than a simple 'have you seen'.'

What do you think of the tweet?
