A wanted man who requested Victoria Police use a better picture of him on Facebook has been arrested.

Police issued a warrant for the arrest of Bendigo man Daniel Damon, 25, after he allegedly failed to answer bail for drug and traffic offences.

Earlier this week, officers used a post on the Victoria Police Facebook to launch a public appeal for information on his whereabouts.

In an unexpected twist a user under the name "Danny Damon" replied to the post which featured a police mugshot saying: "Can you use a better photo tho [sic]. This is a horrible mugshot."

In reply Victoria Police quipped: "Hi Daniel, please visit your nearest police station and we'll arrange for a new photo to be taken."

Damon told police in another post that he was arranging a lawyer.

Earlier on Friday, police again took to social media to say Damon had been arrested.

"We are happy to report that Daniel Damon, who was wanted on warrants, will be getting the new photo he requested. He was arrested today," the tweet said.
