From the Telegraph:
Police seeking two oompa-loompas over Norwich assault
Two men dressed as Oompa-Loompas – characters from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – are being sought by police in Norwich after an attack in the heart of the city.
The victim, a 28-year-old man, was left with cuts, bruises and two black eyes, after being set upon outside a kebab house in the early hours of Thursday morning.
. . .
This was not the first time that oompa-loompas have had a brush with the law.
In 2009 violence flared at a Welcome Family holiday park when a brawl erupted during a fancy dress evening.
These miscreants included not only an oompa-loompa, but Spiderman and even Tinky Winky – the largest of the Teletubbies – best known for his size and red handbag.
. . .
Other fancy address attackers include two men dressed as Elvis Presley and Ozzy Osbourne who were convicted last year, of assaulting a police officer in a Wyatt Earp costume.

What’s next? A drive-by shooting by the Pillsbury Doughboy riding in the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile?
