Everyone’s saying police e-fit of burglar looks like pop megastar… can you tell who?
EVERYONE is saying that a police e-fit of a burglar looks like one of the world's top music icons.
Kent Police want to shame the burglar by showing the public a face they'll never forget.
He could end up back for good behind bars after he broke into a house in Deal, Kent on December 17.
The homeowners were woken by the raid and confronted the incredible intruder.
It was by no means the greatest day of their lives as he demanded their house keys and punched a woman.
Perhaps burgling the property was the first step of his plan to rule the world.
The suspect fled after his balaclava was pulled off, revealing his resemblance to Take That icon Gary Barlow.
It only takes a minute of puzzled squinting to see the close likeness between the crook and the crooner.
