Everton striker Victor Anichebe demanded an apology from police on Thursday after being confronted by officers who thought the Premier League player was part of a gang of violent jewel thieves.

Anichebe and a friend were innocently peering in the window of a jewellers in the affluent town of Knutsford, Cheshire, when police pounced, believing the pair were scouting the premises.

    • fit the usual description ha?

      The pair were finally released when officers realized their mistake, but the incident had left Anichebe upset and distressed, a spokesman for Everton said.

      The player was waiting for detectives to say sorry but had so far heard nothing.
