Revealed: Infamous fugitive dad is being HELPED by locals who think he is ‘Robin Hood’…see more

Trudging single file through rough terrain, a heavily bearded man in camouflage gear carrying a backpack and rifle is followed by three smaller, similarly dressed figures.

Believing them to be poachers, the 16-year-olds film them on a phone then challenge them. One of the foursome, a girl, her face covered with a mask, replies.

‘I said, ‘This is private property’ and she was like, ‘Yeah… duh’,’ the boy recalled of the dusk encounter.

‘Then I asked, ‘Does anyone know you’re on here?’ and she said, ‘No, just you guys’.’

It was only when the teenager sent the video to his grandfather that he discovered the true significance of that exchange.
