COPS are hunting an anagram gang who have been stealing LETTERS from shop signs.
They hit four stores in three nights - taking a D, Y, G, I, M, S, O, two Ls, three As and three Ns.
One of the thieves was heard on CCTV saying he wanted to use them to spell out his name.
Cops in Norwich, Norfolk, appealed for help cracking the puzzle.
PC Rob Whiting said of the gang: "Perhaps they are fans of Countdown - but it's just outrageous that they can go round ripping off letters from shops."
As well as stores including opticians Moss & Leakey, three other businesses are believed to have had letters taken - including an Abbey bank - but have yet to report it to cops.
Hannah Press, manager of one shop hit, said: "It has cost us £100 to get the sign repaired.
"In a recession small firms like us are suffering most and it's something else to fork out for."
