Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Burglar becomes 'folk hero'.
William Stewart, or "Billy" as he is more commonly known, is wanted in connection with a series of burglaries.
The fact he has avoided capture has seen him build up legions of fans. Hundreds of people have registered on his Facebook pages, following his attempts to stay ahead of the law.
The Facebook pages have pictures of him, and updates on his whereabouts.
They also include posts from fans wishing him good luck, and some goading the authorities. One writes: "Police down here couldn't catch a cold."

Well its possible but most sources seem to think that it refers to a 16th century English pirate called Black Jack.
