An investigation is under way after reports that a naked man was "acting suspiciously" and "peering through a window" on a street in Sunderland.
Officers are investigating a public order offence following a report that a man – who was not wearing any clothes – was seen peering through the window of a home in the Tunstall Road area of Sunderland.
It was reported that the man then proceeded to knock on the homeowner’s door, causing alarm and distress to a woman who lives alone. The man then left the area swiftly after.
