Telford police said they wanted the men to help them with their investigations into thefts at BP, House of Fraser, and Boots in Newport and Telford.

But, after posting pictures of the men on social media, users remarked that two of the wanted men were lookalikes for England captain Harry Kane, and international movie star Leonardo DiCaprio.
