A man with no nose is being mercilessly mocked online after police released his bizarre e-fit following a violent robbery.

Western Australia Police shared the photo on social media to help sniff out the noseless suspect, but all they have found so far is a lot of sarcastic comments.

Officers have refused to say why the man appears to be lacking a nose, while some very helpful people online suggested he was the victim of an extreme game of ‘got your nose’.

One joker wrote on the police appeal: ‘I hope somebody nose something that can help.’


Another helpful person said: ‘Surely somebody nose this man.’



A police spokesperson did not comment on the hilarious reaction to their e-fit, but said: ‘The focus is on identifying the two men involved in this robbery.’

Detectives in Perth said a 17-year-old boy was walking through the suburb of Dianella on Friday at about 5pm, when the suspect and his accomplice robbed and assaulted him.

The first offender is described as dark skinned, aged in his mid-20s, about 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build, with short cropped hair and an Australian accent.

At the time of the alleged robbery he was wearing a dark blue t-shirt, tracksuit pants with a white stripe on the side, and flip flops.

The second offender is described as being dark skinned male, in his mid 20’s to 30’s, of medium build, with a short Afro hairstyle and an Australian accent.

He was wearing a dark t-shirt, basketball shorts and sandals/thongs, and in possession of a black/dark coloured BMX bicycle at the time of the incident.
