In the small town of Tunbridge Wells, located near London, an incident occurred: a burglar broke into the home of a 90-year-old local woman. To identify the culprit, Kent County Police released a computer-generated sketch of the suspect, but judging by the reaction of Twitter users, finding him using this image will be quite problematic.
Unusual identikit
Details of the incident
According to a statement from law enforcement agencies, an eyewitness heard suspicious sounds on the top floor of the house after his return . Having met the uninvited guest, he stated that he was a police officer and left the crime scene without taking anything with him.
Reaction on social networks
Twitter users compared a common identikit with a character from low-poly games, which somehow penetrated into the real world and got lost among the textures. Some suggested that police were using outdated software from the 1990s, while others tried to find similarities with real people.
Unexpected similarities
The most accurate comparison turned out to be Pete Buttigieg, the current US Secretary of Transportation and former Democratic presidential candidate who was the first openly gay person to run for office.

What an adventure! This is just another proof that the police must use advanced technologies to ensure the safety of citizens 🕵️ A funny identikit, of course, but the main thing is to find the criminal.

Haha, this guy is straight out of a 90s computer game! 🤖 Looks like the graphics still need some work... I hope the cops know he's not actually Pete Buttigieg 😂

Oh, these modern technologies! I doubt that they will find anyone based on such an identikit. They will only spoil people’s eyesight 🙄 In my time, they used normal portraits, hand-drawn by artists. Much more realistic!

I can’t help but laugh at this identikit! 😆 He looks more like a character from Forest Brothers than a real person. But seriously, an attack on an elderly woman is terrible. I hope the culprit is caught.

I really didn’t think that such funny identikit images could still be found! 😁 Brings back memories of old computer games. But if the police have already attracted the public, maybe it’s worth sharing information with them, what if someone saw something?

Ugh, these newfangled things of yours are a waste of time! 😤 You won’t catch a single decent criminal with such stupid faces. It would be better if the police took action instead of posting meaningless pictures!

Let's leave the jokes aside 🧐 In my opinion, this is a very useful and important technology. Thanks to it, the police can quickly spread the signs of a criminal, and each of us will help in capturing a dangerous person. It's time to update your methods, my dear Zdislav!

I'm just delighted with this identikit! 😍 It may look a little... unrealistic, but it's so creative and new! Maybe real virtual characters will now appear in crime reports? That would be so exciting! 🎮
