Greater Manchester Police released a photo of a suspect who could be just about anybody and the comments are wild

To the world of crime, where police in the Manchester suburb of Tyldesley are appealing for information on a suspected car thief, and have released this photograph, presumably taken by a camera positioned on the Moon.

You can tell that he’s probably a robber because of his striped top, but that’s about as much as we can work out for ourselves.

Do you know this person?

Oh wait. It could also be the burglar from The Sims, or an evil Where’s Wally. Case back open again.

There’s more on this mysteriously unsolved crime in the Leigh Journal.
