ARMED police swooped after a cardboard cut-out of Noel Edmonds was kidnapped from a seaside arcade.
Burly security guard Tom Brookman spotted two men and a woman making off with the life-size figure of the Deal Or No Deal star.
Tom, 40, who weighs 19 stone and is 6ft 1in, chased the dastardly trio for 150 yards.
Then he saw a passing patrol car and flagged it down.
And he couldn’t help laughing as three officers jumped out and confronted the thieves – carrying guns.
The dad-of-four said: “It was hilarious. It was like the real Noel Edmonds had been kidnapped.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. They were absolutely bricking themselves when the police arrived. Especially when they saw they were armed.”
Tom was on duty at the Flamingo Arcade in Hastings, East Sussex, last Sunday when the Noel cut-out was pinched from its spot next to a Deal Or No Deal gaming machine
He recalled: “Two blokes and a lady came in to the casino and they were paying a lot of attention to Noel. We didn’t think anything of it at first as a lot of people come in to take a photo beside our Noel.
“But suddenly the group grabbed him and shot out the door. My colleague shouted to me and I chased them.
“Noel might have helped them beat the banker – but they couldn’t beat me and the police.
“I was stunned to see three officers with gun holsters step out and arrest them. You should have seen their faces.
“It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen – and I’ve been working in security for years.”
And he joked: “If it had been the real Noel, I would have just let them take him.”
Inspector Martin Mann, of Sussex Police, said three suspects – two men aged 22 and a woman, 21 – were quizzed about the theft of the £250 cut-out.
He added: “They were all given cautions after admitting it was a prank.”
A police source said: “We couldn’t believe it when we heard Noel Edmonds had been kidnapped. It had the whole station in stitches.”
