A Ross Geller Lookalike Was Caught On Camera Shoplifting, 'Friends' Fans Go Crazy

If you've been wondering what they have been up to, well, Ross Geller was recently caught on a security camera shoplifting.

If you don't know who Ross Geller is (what's wrong with you?), it's this guy:

The lovable but sometimes annoying character was played by US actor David Schwimmer.

So when police in Blackpool, a small town in England, posted a picture on their Facebook page on Tuesday asking for help identifying a shoplifting suspect, fans of the sitcom had a field day - because the man looks exactly like Ross Geller!

According to the police, the suspect was seen in a CCTV recording leaving a restaurant while carrying what appeared to be a crate of cans after the alleged theft on 20 September.

The post quickly gained traction online after fans of the sitcom managed to figure out who did it: it was Ross Geller!

After being bombarded with responses on their Facebook page, the police later confirmed that the real Ross Geller was innocent:

If that wasn't enough for you, David Schwimmer decided to prove his innocence - by reenacting the shoplifting scene in a supermarket in New York:

The suspect is still at large at the moment and civilians are urged to be careful because the suspect is said to have achieved Unagi, a state of total awareness in which he can be prepared for any danger.
