Covid fine for man found 'stark naked' in East Midlands car park

A man found 'stark naked' in a car park has been fined for breaching coronavirus restrictions.

While on a routine patrol on Saturday, February 6, police found the man in the nude in a parked Mazda with its engine running.

When quizzed by officers, the man claimed he'd stumbled across the public car park by accident 'after taking several wrong turns', saying he'd made the journey to a shop to pick up some wet wipes, reports Derbyshire Live.

However, a statement on the Melbourne and Mercia Police Facebook page read: "The male was unable to provide a reasonable excuse of why he was stark naked in the car park during the height of a national lockdown.

"As a result of his bare-faced-cheek, the man was issued with a community protection notice warning, prohibiting him from engaging in acts of an antisocial behaviour nature, including insisting he wears clothes in public places and not discarding rubbish and wet wipes in car parks across South Derbyshire.

"He was also issued a fine for breaching Covid-19 regulations.

"A further clothed male, parked in a separate vehicle in the same car park, was also issued with a fine for breaching Covid-19 regulations."

Rangers had reported to police that a number of local car parks were being blighted by discarded wet wipes and litter.
