Police have warned social media users they could face arrest if they "troll" a wanted drug dealer by mocking his distinctive hairstyle.
An online appeal to catch the criminal has resulted in tens of thousands of people posting joke comments.
Jermaine Taylor, 21, is wanted for breaching his licence conditions after being released from prison in December 2018.
Gwent Police launched the social media appeal to find the convicted drug dealer, but it backfired when people began making jokes about his hairstyle, with one saying it had been "pushed back more times than Brexit".
The picture shows Taylor with a large, bald forehead and two tufts of hair sticking up.
Twitter users joked: "His forehead is bigger than his future," and "that hairline goes further back than Woolworths".
Another quipped: "Looks like his hairline is on the run too."
The large number of comments prompted Gwent Police to warn users that posting abusive material could be against the law.

When jokes about hair are outlawed only outlaws will make them....../s
It’s not nice to make fun of people who look like a roll-on deodorant with eyebrows.
it’s pretty sad when ridicule is illegal
(Although I am sure that Bozo the Clown wants his hairstyle back!)
Amish?
Gotta love our first amendment. :)
I love to walk up to young women that are complete strangers and have yellow, purple, blue or any other obviously un-natural color and say, in my most sincere voice, “Your hair looks really cool! Is that your natural color?”
Yeah, crazy old man gotta be crazy. :)
Sounds like the wisest thing to do, if one is a British Subject, is to cease all forms of communication within one’s own species, because one’s own species has gone batshit cray cray.
He looks a lot like Clint Howard...........in his younger days................
Would someone please Photoshop a turban on his picture?
You are indeed a naughty boy.
Tell the truth, have you really done that more than once?

That would probably work until the UK makes it illegal to mock a cat or make fun of poodles.
First thing I noticed, too.
So does this mean that people with pink hair and nose rings can be punished for making fun of Trump’s “Cheeto” hair?
Here’s an interesting thought.
If we had that here the majority of Democrats would be in jail. And then we’d win every election.
In New York City, an employer can now be fined $200,000 for refusing to hire someone with a hairstyle like that.
LOL, I gotta try that.
I have told women wearing hijabs that they live in a free country now and don’t have to wear that symbol of oppression.
How do you prove that someone wasn’t hired because of their haircut?
England is the real joke.
