A WANTED man mocked police through the music of pop sensations Queen.

James French took to social media to taunt the force by posting videos of himself with the band’s hit song, I Want to Break Free, blasting in the background.

French, of no fixed address, had evaded police by hiding out in a hotel.

But, in one of his videos, police noticed a large key fob which not just the hotel but also the room number in which he was camping out.

Officers said they”dropped by” to pay the cocky crook a visit and promptly arrested him.

Inspector Mark Rosser said: “It was great work by the team, whose patience paid off when they ended his dream of breaking free. I suppose you could say it was a case of Another One Bites The Dust. “

French had been released on licence from Rochester prison, where he had been serving a 10-month sentence for motoring offences imposed in March this year, on September 9.

But the licence was revoked on September 24.

French had failed to keep key appointments with a supervisor as part of the conditions for his early release and was returned to the prison authorities.
