Taking to social media, David took the opportunity to recreate the CCTV footage, jokingly saying, 'Officers, I swear it wasn't me. As you can see, I was in New York.'

He then wished Blackpool Police 'good luck' in tracking down the man saying, 'To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation'.

David's response has spawned some hilarious responses from Friends fans, such as this mock up of a scene - 'The One Where Ross Brings All The Beer'.

David Schwimmer starred as Ross Geller, one of the main characters in the popular TV show Friends from 1994 to 2004.

Ross was known as one of the more intelligent friends, who was a bit geeky at times with his love for dinosaurs and his attempt at learning karate and the art of unagi.

However, despite all the fun behind the reaction there is a serious side to this, with some users reminding fans that police are still on the hunt for this suspect.

The suspect pictured is wanted for the alleged theft of a jacket, wallet and mobile from a restaurant in Blackpool.
