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.

Rather a lower class subject of Babylon 5’s Centari Republic...
Even as a food preparer?...................they don’t make hair nets that big!................
An old man keeps looking at this young guy with multicolored dyed hair at a bus stop.
Finally, the exasperated young guy asks: "Whassa matter Gramps, didn't you every do anything wild when you were young?"
"Sure did," said the old man. "Got sloppy drunk once and had sex with a parrot. I was wondering if you might be the result!"
I do it all the time. Seriously. Even if my wife is with me.
The key is to sound like you are dead serious and sincere. I do it with some tattoos too. :)
I never knew this about old people, but now that I’m living it - I sorta see this like I’m a character in a video game. There is nothing I value that is at stake in these situations. I do all I can to be in His will, but this kind of stuff is fun, and they often don’t know how to take such a sincere fascination with their hair color.
I also argue back way too often (even on free republic), beginning with these words, “Well, on my home planet...”
It’s just fun to mess with people’s minds and be thought the fool from time to time. My wife knows better, and her opinion is the only one that counts. Literally. Of course, that is because we come from the same home planet. :)
Just don’t mention their hair, then don’t hire them.
Problem solved.
A couple of decades ago I had finally had it with string bikini’s as well. I would see a woman with large breasts and virtually nothing covering them up and say, “you have very nice breasts”. as I walked by. Nobody ever complained, but if they had, I would have said, “My apologies. The way you are displaying them, I just thought you were going for that response.”
But I only did that a few times and decided they might actually like it, and that was not what I was going for.
Tyranny! We got them out of here with the American Revolution. But now Democrats are trying to bring it back. Read the “Declaration of Independenc. You’ll be amazed how much has already be taken away. Political correctness is censorship and tyranny.

The jokes are pretty good. Doubtful about the existence of such etiquette laws, even in Britain.
how are they gonna prove the person wasn’t fired because of the hair? an employer is allowed to refuse to hire people for any number of reasons-
Unless of course the drug dealer is white. Then mock away freely!
If you have the time and resources to threaten or arrest folks for mocking people on-line, then you damn well better have tracked and arrested every immigrant terrorist who has made on-line threats to the British citizenry.
As long as collars and cuffs match it’’s ok.
England is committing suicide. I’m not sure if Scotland and Wales have the same idiotic policies/laws. Hope not since my ancestors came from Scotland.
My ancestors bugged outta Britain in the 1630s.
Best decision the family has ever made.
They must not want me to visit the UK again.
People with unusual hairstyles have then to get attention. He got attention. He can’t expect all the attention to be positive, especially when he looks like a doofus.
The guy could be on a warning poster about the dangers of sticking a fork in an electrical outlet.
