Harry Potter actor's image used to catch criminal
Friday, 8 August 2008
Robbie Coltrane’s mugshot has been used on a Wanted poster in New Zealand.
Police in Christchurch, on the country’s South Island, are looking for an 'active burglar' who is 16-years-old.
And they've used the actor's picture because their chief suspect looks just like him.
'Because of the Children And Young Persons Act 1989, police cannot show you a picture of the 16-year-old burglar operating in your neighbourhood,' it reads.
‘Robbie Coltrane is not the burglar, but imagine him aged 16 with lank greasy hair and you have the picture.'
The leaflet, which describes Scottish Robbie as an English actor, was distributed to homes.
Pat Creasey, of the local neighbourhood support group, says: 'I think he'd think it was a bit of a hoot.
'I'm sure he'd be fully supportive of it.'
A spokesman for the 58-year-old Harry Potter star made no comment.
