Police have asked for help to find a Prince Harry lookalike accused of stealing a Louis Vuitton bag from a car.

Hertfordshire Police released CCTV images of the man seen in Watford and shared it on their Facebook page - but social media users quickly pointed out his resemblance to the Duke of Sussex.

The force added that a MacBook and Apple headphones were also stolen from the car.

A spokesperson from Hertfordshire Police said in a statement: “We have released a CCTV image of a man we would like to identify following a theft in Watford.

“Between 8.30pm and 11.15pm on Friday 10 March, a vehicle was broken in to at Topgolf on Bushey Mill Lane.

“It was reported that the rear window was smashed and a Louis Vuitton bag which contained a Macbook, Apple headphones and a hard drive was stolen,” the spokesperson added.
