Police in the United Kingdom are trying to find a burglary suspect but it’s the photo of the department used that is making headlines across the world.
It’s an electronic sketch, called an E-fit in the U.K., posted by the Warwickshire Police Department.
The department posted it Tuesday and it has been retweeted more than 17,000 times.
Warwickshire police said they produced the sketch based on the victim’s description.
The man was wanted for reportedly posing as a housing employee and forcing his way into a woman’s home to steal cash.

We can confirm that this is real and that we anticipated the attention! But jokes aside, it was created from a description provided and it’s serious as a woman was victim of a horrible crime. Hopefully the attention will mean we identify the offender/bring him to justice quicker— Warwickshire Police (@warkspolice) April 3, 2018
