Lord Noel On Getting To The Bottom Of It

Whatto! Smart Fellas...

Plymouth, England - Call it the "Case of the Sneaky Sniffer", because that's exactly who police in Plymouth, are hoping to sniff out; and they want the public to help.

According to news reports, Plymouth police are hunting a man who repeatedly crouched down behind a supermarket shelf stacker....

.....to smell his bottom!

The man was caught on CCTV creeping up on the unsuspecting worker at least 20 times as he stacked shelves at a Co-op store in Plymouth.

The footage shows him pretending to chose items from shelves before suddenly crouching down behind the employee.....

.....and remaining there.......

....for quite some time....

The behaviour only came to light when the employee became suspicious and informed his manager, who checked the in-store security video.

The victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - said: "I had no idea what was going on. I thought it was all a bit strange. I was shocked and I couldn't believe he was in my aisle for that long."

Detective Constable Steve White, of Plymouth police (once he had stopped laughing) said: "We are treating this incident very seriously and we would appeal to the public's help in tracking down this man".....

"It is a bizarre incident and the shop was full of people", said officer White. "Someone must have seen the man and could well help us identify him."

If he is caught.....

...I wonder if he'll get scent down?

Tallyho!
