Social media mocks police e-fit by comparing it to 'a leprechaun'

A police e-fit has been mocked on social media for 'looking more like one of Snow White's dwarfs', 'a leprechaun' and even 'Prince Harry'. The mock-up shows a man in a black baseball cap, sporting a shiny ginger beard.

Northamptonshire Police issued the image as part of an appeal into a robbery which took place in Corby on July 15. Facebook users were quick to ridicule the e-fit after the force launched the appeal to find the mugger who targeted two teenagers and robbed them of their phones.

Some web users users said looks like it was 'drawn on by a child'. Another commented: "So northants police still haven't invested in a proper e-fit system - instead looks like Prince Harry is on the run."
