Police on the hunt for Ross Geller lookalike beer thief
Police in Blackpool are hunting for a man after the theft of what appears to be a tray of beer from a local restaurant, with the Facebook post attracting over 68,000 shares due to the man’s similarity to US sitcom Friends character Ross Geller.
The CCTV still of the man, apparently carrying a tray of beer cans, has garnered over 68,000 shares and around 101,000 comments from fans of the US sitcom Friends.
Commenters believe the man bears a striking resemblance to one of the show’s main characters, Ross Geller, played by American actor David Schwimmer.
The post has attracted an array of Friends-inspired quips and jokes with one user, referencing the theme tune, writing: “I don’t think it’s been this guy’s day, his week, his month or even his year,” while another added: “Apparently the police had him cornered then he performed a PIVOT manoeuvre and escaped”.
“Shouldn’t he be at work…or is he on a break?” another asked.
“We’re so sorry it has to be this way”.
Police are asking anyone with information on the man’s true identity to email 7798@lancashire.pnn.police.uk quoting log LC-20180920-0670.
