Have you seen this man?
Warwickshire police have issued an e-fit of a man wanted for a distraction burglary in Stratford-upon-Avon and it looks like this:

To state the obvious, the accused man’s mouth and teeth are excessively large.
If the e-fit is true to form, it should not be difficult for the authorities to locate the smiling suspect. I suggest they start with Stratford-upon-Avon’s dental records, or canvas the town’s oral healthcare professionals.
Between 2.00pm and 2.36pm on February 5, two men claiming to be from Orbit Housing tricked their way into a flat in Hertford Place. One of the men distracted the occupant – a woman in her 40s – while the other man searched the property.
When the victim realised what they were doing she ordered them to leave. The men left with a quantity of cash.
Warwickshire police then posted the Cheshire cat burglar e-fit to their social accounts.
Vigilante Twitter has responded predictably.
