No, this was not an act by a criminal mastermind from Gotham City. It was a man wearing an adult-sized babygro on the lookout for lager.

The thief entered a Sainsbury’s Local in County Durham where he picked up 10 cans of Stella Artois worth £8 and walked out without paying.

The man is described as being a white male in his 20s wearing [stifles giggle] a black and white penguin onesie with a yellow beak.

A spokesman for Durham Police said: ‘He would be quite conspicuous and made off on foot so may have come to the attention of someone in the area.’




Fishmongers in the area have been warned to keep an eye out for any human-sized flightless birds near food waste bins. Maybe.

If anyone has any information, please contact Durham Police on 101.
