Wiltshire Police is appealing for witnesses after a man was seen riding a bicycle ‘wearing only a tartan cap and rucksack’ in the Devizes area.

Between 4.50pm-5.20pm on Tuesday 13 June, a male was seen riding a bicycle naked along Quakers walk, from the direction of Roundway Gardens.

Police say the suspect is described as: male, white, in his late 20s/early 30s and wearing a tartan cap and dark coloured rucksack.

A spokesperson said: “Whilst we understand that temperatures this week have been high, it is obviously not acceptable to remove all clothing whilst in a public place as this constitutes the offence of ‘outraging public decency’.

“Devizes Community Policing team are currently investigating this incident and would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this male in the Devizes area.

“Please contact the police non-emergency number on 101, quoting reference number 54170052961, alternatively you can report anonymously by calling Crimestoppers 0800 555 111, where details may be left, if you prefer.”
