Police release worst e-fits ever

Suspects unlikely to be found

Police release worst e-fits ever
18 April 2012

Ever wondered what happened to the good old 90s staple MS Paint? Well, it appears as if it's been adopted by Gloucestershire Police for their e-fits.

They've released three "artist's" impressions of people involved in "distraction thefts" in the local area. But a bizarre lack of artistic merit has resulted in a set of unhelpful pictures that are far too easy to ridicule.

Take the first woman below. She's wanted in connection with a £1,000 credit card theft which we assume was to replace her 1920s costume with something a bit more up-to-date, like a 1930s costume.

A few weeks after, the man above is suspected of stealing a bag, with help from the ginger woman at the bottom. Thanks to the shoddy e-fits, we can't tell what the hell he has on his head or why we're so damn terrified of his female accomplice.

Criminals, rest easy. Everyone else, your nightmares have now been filled.
