When this hoodlum tried to hold up a petrol station, he thought a balaclava would protect his identity.

But he wasn’t banking on other parts of his anatomy being caught on CCTV.

Police have issued this image of the culprit’s posterior – showing the moment he clambered onto a female worker’s desk – in the hope that someone may recognise him from his outfit.

Who's is this? Police are hoping the clothing, and the man's rear, are recognised by someone out there

The thug left empty-handed after the cashier at the Total Garage in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, refused to hand over any money, despite being threatened with a kitchen knife.

Unfortunately for officers, their only clue to the man’s identity seems to be a  preference for French Connection underwear.

Detective Inspector Caroline Dawson said: ‘We hope that by releasing images of the items of clothing worn during the robbery they may help us identify the man involved.’

One wonders how the girl and her colleagues would tackle an identity parade. . .

Anyone with information relating to the incident, which took place on December 23, should contact Newton  Aycliffe police, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
