#DAVIDSCHWI­MMER

Police in Lancashire thanked David Schwimmer for his support after they arrested a man on suspicion of theft. Last month, many pointed out that the man in the police’s video appeal resembled the Friends actor. Schwimmer then responded with a video of his own.

@BBCNWT added: “Remember the ‘Friends’ beer theft story? Police have now arrested the David Schwimmer lookalike in Southall, London. He’s being questioned on suspicion of theft from a shop in Blackpool. The American actor tweeted his own image of the incident and told police ‘It wasn’t me!’ ”

@Lancspolic­e posted: “Following the appeal we posted looking for a man who resembles a wellknown actor, we now have an update. Thanks to our colleagues @Metpoliceu­k, a 36-year-old man was arrested in Southall last night on suspicion of theft. Thank you for the support, especially @Davidschwi­mmer!”

@mmchugh5 joked: “You’re in the clear @Davidschwi­mmer”

@Elizabe713­05907 commented: “You know they say there is a twin for everyone somewhere in the world! I guess David Schwimmer found his twin!”
