'Oompa Loompas' sought by police over Norwich assault

There were 10 Oompa Loompas in the original 1971 film

Two men dressed as Oompa Loompas from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory are being sought by police in connection with an assault in Norwich.

A 28-year-old man was attacked by three men and a woman as he left a kebab house on Prince of Wales Road in the city on Thursday.

Two of the men had painted orange faces and dyed green hair and were wearing hooped tops, as in the 1971 film.

The victim suffered cuts and black eyes, Norfolk Police said.

Police are appealing for witnesses.

Time to register costumes. No one should be allow to alter their identity when committing a crime. Costume registration would put an end to that practice.

Yeah, but they wore Oompa Loompa costumes so people would THINK that they were not REAL Oompa Loompa's but in reality height challenged third graders in costume.
