Police have been mocked for issuing an e-fit of a suspect who has been compared to Fred Flintstone from the animated sitcom The Flintstones.

Kent Police issued the image of the man with one large sideburn in connection with a robbery on a 75-year-old man in Cliftonville.

But the efit prompted derision from some commentators on the force's Facebook page, with one describing it as "the worst efit I've ever seen".

Another poster wrote: "By the looks of this, you're looking for a guy with a wife called Wilma and a pet dinosaur."

A further commentator wrote: "Did someone at police HQ get carried away with the black pen?? Lol."
