The boutique, Rohrmann, was visited by the Kingsley-lookalike and a female accomplice on Thursday morning, North Zealand Police confirmed. The store is located in Hellerup, an affluent outlying district of Greater Copenhagen.
The pair tried on scarves and the man attempted to haggle over the price of a fur coat before the two succeeded in leaving the store with two coats which hadn’t been paid for.
In addition to the Kingsley comparison, the man is also described as 50-55 years old and of slim build. He is not Danish and has dark brown hair, according to the description.
How that description fits with the comparison to the legendary actor, who is 75 years old and bald, is unclear.
Additionally, the man was described as wearing a Paisley-patterned scarf. He spoke English with an “indefinable” accent.
The woman is described as between 45-50, Eastern European, 170-175cm tall and with dark hair tied in a bun.
Kingsley, who was awarded an Oscar in 1982 for his portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi, is not considered a suspect in the theft, North Zealand Police have confirmed.
