Fortunately, Blackpool police have already confirmed that Schwimmer was indeed in New York, writing on Facebook yesterday: “We have investigated this matter thoroughly and have confirmed that David Schwimmer was in America on this date.
As you can see, I was in New York,” the actor tweeted – alongside a CCTV video capturing him “stealing” from a grocery store.
The actor, famous for his role as Ross Geller, concluded his tweet: “To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.
#itwasntme.” Schwimmer’s response has since been liked more than 136,000 times from people appreciative of the joke.
