A sensational search for a presumed beer thief in Britain apparently ended successfully. In the headlines, the case came less because of the crime, but much more because of the great similarity of the suspect with the well-known from the television series "Friends" actor David float.
After searching for a man who "resembles a well-known actor," a suspect was found, the police wrote on Twitter. A 36-year-old was arrested in Southall. "Thanks for the support, especially to David Schwimmer!", It said.

- Blackpool Police (@BlackpoolPolice) November 13, 2018Blackpool police asked for help in the search for a man who stole a pallet of beer in a shop last month. She posted images from a surveillance camera - and was flooded with clues from Twitter users pointing out the resemblance to the "Friends" star.
Officers, I swear it was not me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation. # Itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR
Schwimmer himself had asserted his innocence: "I swear I was not," he wrote. "As you can see, I was in New York." He also released a video that showed him with a pallet of beer on his arm in a US supermarket.
