Ally, who describes himself as an ‘urban explorer’ has now been charged with stealing a “hot beverage” of value unknown after entering Snozone as a trespasser in November 2017.

The incident is alleged to have happened during one of Mr Law’s stunts that he films for his YouTube channel.

He said: “The funny thing is that I don’t even f****ng drink tea!”

He added” It’s good to see this is where our taxpayers’ money is going. It’s funny because if your home or your car gets robbed the police don’t even seem to have the resources to deal with it.

Ally’s Facebook post describing his arrest has now gone viral with 1,700 comments and 1,600 shares. He estimates the police spent thousands on the operation.

Ally was given a criminal behaviour order in December banning him from TV studios and themes parks across Britain due to his record of stunts and pranks.

He is also forbidden from sharing footage of his ‘urban adventures’ on social media.

As a sideline, Ally has a website selling hoodies and tee shirts with the logo ‘It’s a Madness’
