The Ohio police got a fantastic tip-off about John Morgan's robbery---straight from the horse's mouth.

The paroled bank robber stole from a bank and then posted pictures of himself on Facebook with the stolen cash, according to Yahoo! News.

John Mogan, 28, and his girlfriend Ashley Duboe, 24, were charged during the heist of the Savings Bank in Ashville, Ohio on Aug. 24. according to HNGN.

Videos had caught Mogan spattered with tattoes, and also wearing makeup to cover up his tell-tale tattoos, along with a huge hood.

Interestingly, Facebook was a giveaway. Just four days after the robbery, cops caught them both putting up pictures, with large stacks of cash. There was a photograph of Mogan with cash in his mouth on August 31.

After the robbery, the police had not managed to get anywhere, until the tip-off from the Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.

On July 2010, Mogan had been released from prison over the Fairfield National Bank branch heist, in which he was accompanied by a woman, according to Inquisitr. He was hence on paroles since then.

Other charges staring at Mogan and Duboe include third degree robbery and theft and a fifth degree felony. Officials confirm that Mogan might get four years in prison.
