Train defecator hunted by police
A man has been defecating in trains across south-east England, causing damage costing £60,000 to repair.
British Transport Police have released CCTV images of the man, who has struck on at least 30 trains since August.
He waits until he is alone before committing the offence, smearing excrement inside carriages.
"This is a serious public health issue as well as being exceptionally anti-social - we need to locate this man," said Det Con Donna Fox.
She said his offences had resulted in many carriages being taken out of service, causing disruption and cancellations and serious inconvenience to the travelling public.
Different times
There was also £60,000 in damage and cleaning costs.
"There is no particular pattern as to when he appears," said Ms Fox.
"He travels to various areas and at different times of the day and different days of the week.
"We have been trawling through CCTV images to try and track the man and remain hopeful that members of the public may know him and where he lives.
"On at least one occasion CCTV footage shows the man being disturbed by a passenger walking through a train.
"If anyone sees this man travelling on the railway network they should not approach him, but call the police or alert train staff immediately."
"Poo Poo" on the "Choo Choo"
That guy has a serious problem!
When they catch him, I bet they beat the crap out of him.
What a pantload.
Spreading the word of the ROP.
It probably requires more thorough cleaning than normal, using different cleansers and cleaning tools - perhaps even necessitating an outside contractor and medical testing.
just saw this on the website; had to end up here!
Time to begin designing new passenger screening equipment.
(grin)
60 grand?....
That's some tough sh!#......
When they catch him, I hope they stick his face in some of his handiwork.
But I suspect that this scumbag may actually like for something like that to happen to him.
One less Democrat to vote here next month...
No more oatmeal cookies on the snack cart.
Man . . . that just stinks.
Have they considered DNA analysis?
Might not work, if the samples were generated by Rover, instead of the smearer.
Can you spot the assumption?
When Potty Training goes Off-Track...
OJ ?
Or Bran Muffins, Prun Juice, Bean Dip, etc....
