But one observer commented on the police social media page: “I can see my house on google maps. But a close up of nosferatu .. not a chance.”

Another added: “He’s not of this world.”

Another made a Harry Potter reference with the observation: “Lord Voldemort is doing well for himself.

Meanwhile, another who brought up an Addams Family look alike and observed: “Is it Uncle Fester?”
