London: Policemen in the UK issued a 'wanted' poster for a BBC weatherman after his snow forecast failed to materialise. Police in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, put out the playful appeal on their Facebook page against BBC Belfast weatherman Barra Best for the flop forecast, news agency Press Trust of India reported.
The wanted poster issued on the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Craigavon Facebook page has a picture of Best with the caption, "Wanted for building false hopes of children and cops in craigavon, Barra 'dream destroyer' Best."
"Whilst initially we thought that, as with most things, the lack of snow would be blamed on us, in the last 24 hours we have had new information. The fact that there was some bloke on TV skiing in Coleraine, whilst in Craigavon we had to have a whip round to make a snowball is the fault of...THIS MAN!!" the post read.
A reward of two doughnuts has been offered in the poster for information leading to Best's capture.
The post also drew reaction from the weatherman, who responded defiantly to the appeal, saying, "You better get the Feds and Interpol involved. I'm snowwhere to be found."
"That move would be appreciated by all in Craigavon. Roundabout/Roundabend F is our main tourist attraction." Instead the BBC man has gone on the 'run', posting on his Facebook page, "I've fled across the border with (UTV weather presenter) Frank Mitchell."
