Women have flooded the Facebook page of a US city's police department with lust-fuelled comments about the mugshot of a criminal deemed particularly good-looking.

Jeremy Meeks, a 30-year-old convicted felon, was one of four men arrested on Wednesday in raids in Stockton, California, after a spate of shootings and robberies.

His mugshot has since received more than 13,700 likes and 3,200 comments, and has been shared more than 300 times on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page.

"OMGGG superrrrrr Delicious," commented Adjutha Lambertina.

Another commenter, Michelle Asher Morales, asked: "Can we be handcuffed together ... lordy!!".

Amanda Sullivan also left a comment, saying the mugshot was "the most attractive looking mug shot I've ever seen!".

"It just proves that most people never rise to their true potential. And, that most of us are fooled by a pretty smile and nice eyes lol," she added.

The other three arrested men - whose mugshots also appear on the Facebook page - had a total of 21 comments between them.
