Police are hunting a suspected burglar who is a dead ringer for X Factor judge Louis Walsh.
Kent Police released images of the man on social media and announced that they want to speak to him following a theft from a building site.
Tools and materials were nicked from a construction site near Ashford Road in Tenterden last month.
Officers posted CCTV grabs of the man they want to speak to in connection with the theft on their official Kent Police Twitter page and asked anyone who recognised the man to get in touch with them.
Their post was met with with a host of social media users joking they could identify the culprit straight away.
Residents remarked on him being a doppelganger for the 68-year-old telly favourite – famous for saying X Factor contestants were like younger versions of existing pop stars.
