An ice cool thief snatched a suitcase from a Birmingham-born train – and found it contained a rare replica adult Anna costume from smash-hit Disney film Frozen.

The case was snatched as its 27-year-old owner slept on the service from Wigan to Birmingham New Street on Saturday May 9.

Police said she put her suitcase in a rack and fell asleep after boarding at Wigan North Western just after 7am.

She not realise it had gone until the train arrived at New Street.

Officers released an image of a suspect believed to have left the train at Sandwell and Dudley station.

PC Andy Stoddart said: “Officers are pursuing several lines of enquiry, including speaking to witnesses from the train.

“We would like to speak with the man pictured as a matter of urgency.

“While theft on the rail network continues to fall, we would still advise passengers to be vigilant and keep an eye on their property at all times.”

Officers added the one-off costume is not available for sale and was an official dress used in live ‘Sing-a-long’ shows of Frozen.
