Police in Hertfordshire are searching for a man who bears a striking resemblance to David Beckham following a theft at a builders' merchant in Bishop's Stortford. The incident occurred on October 21, when building materials were stolen from the shop.
Hertfordshire Police released a CCTV image of the suspect on Twitter, appealing for information. The tweet read: 'Do you recognise this man? He could help with our inquiries following a theft from a builders' merchants in #BishopsStortford. On Friday 21 October, building materials were stolen from the shop. If you have any info, please email Kelly.Newton@herts.police.uk quoting 41/85532/22.'
The post quickly gained attention, with one Twitter user commenting: 'Definitely David Beckham.' The former England footballer, 47, was not involved in the incident.
This is not the first time a Beckham lookalike has drawn public notice. In 2018, Andy Harmer, who runs a celebrity lookalike agency and appeared on the Channel 4 documentary series 'Lookalikes', was mocked on This Morning for his resemblance to Beckham. Viewers were unconvinced, with one tweeting: 'If he's David Beckham I'm Posh!'
