A prisoner serving a seven-year sentence robbing a cash transit van has posted photos onto Facebook of him posing with fellow inmates.

Mobile phones and social networking sites are banned from prisons, but this didn't stop dad-of-six Adam Ali posting updates from his cell at Featherstone prison in Wolverhampton, the Birmingham Mail reported.

Some of his 384 friends complimented his lifestyle, with one saying: "Looks like a nice flat you got there.

"Is it one or two bedroom, make sure you lock the front door of a night.

"I've heard it's a bit rough in that area, full of criminals."

That is where he is serving a seven-year sentence for his part in robbing a cash transit van carrying 465,000 to Staffordshire's V Festival in August 2013.

Investigation: The prison will investigate the findings on Adam Ali's Facebook page

Jail bosses are now investigating the Facebook uploads, which were removed within hours of the Birmingham Mail contacting them.

Ali, from Cotman Close, Great Barr, was jailed last June for the robbery in which a van driver was taken hostage at Hopwood Service Station on the M42 by gang members wearing hoods and ski masks.
