UK Police Release Suspect Photo on a Pancake!
Punny! ... because it's Shrove Tuesday!
Police in Surrey, in the south east of England, say they have teamed up with a crepe artist called Philippe de Pan to create a likeness of a suspect in a series of burglaries. Why use a pancake portrait? Well, it’s Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, and doing it this way sure is getting a lot of attention.
This is his likeness of Thomas Michael Cooper. We’d like to speak to him about a series of burglaries.
We would like to establish if he is a crepe-tomaniac?! (badoom tisch!)#ShroveTuesday#HelpUsWhiskThemAway pic.twitter.com/pRIl2ObXfl

Emergency Locate got into the game saying “I hope you manage to crêpe up on them and apprehend them safely!”
