Eighteen bench warrant offenders have turned themselves in or been located after an usual police operation involving social media.

Twelve arrests were also made when officers posted mug shots on Facebook.

It's the first time custody photos have been used by the PSNI in this way.

Nine were posted over two weeks as part of Operation Relentless.
