Bank robber taunted cop on Facebook

An Adelaide bank robber who taunted an investigating police officer on Facebook saying "catch me if you can" has been jailed for at least seven years.

He also wrote: "you know my condition, no surrender, blaze of glory, time to kill and do you think I will never do another days jail, see you all scums that have done wrong by me ha, ha, ha, go the Armed Robbers Federation".(sic)

Natalis Andre Lebler began his post with: "you scum bag copper" before naming the police office and his work location, said Judge Simon Stretton.

"Your counsel submits that you now regret making that Facebook entry," Judge Stretton said in the South Australian District Court.

He jailed the 47-year-old, who has a long criminal history, for 11 years three months with a non-parole period of seven years.

Lebler pleaded guilty to one count of theft of a number plate, one count of aggravated robbery and two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

In October 2013, Lebler was the lookout for an associate, wearing a balaclava and carrying a small axe, who threatened terrified staff at a Bendigo Bank branch and fled with about $30.
