Police today managed to slip in a sly Hollywood reference to a routine wanted appeal - for a burglar that looks like Sloth from cult classic The Goonies.

Officers want to find Louis Barnett, who is wanted in connection with a burglary in the Castle Bromwich area of Birmingham on March 24.

The force's cheeky social media appeal references a famous line from Sloth, a character in Richard Donner's 1985 film The Goonies.

But one Twitter user objected to the tweet, saying: "I'm disgusted that they feel it's ok to ridicule him!"
