A dad was horrified after coming home from holiday and checking his CCTV cameras where he discovered a man had defecated on his drive.
Wajed Iqbal, 46, received a phone call from his wife while he was abroad in Turkey on Saturday, April 2. He was told she was woken up by their CCTV alarm system which showed a man with his trousers dropped running into their driveway.
Mr Iqbal was not convinced anything serious had happened and assumed a man was simply kicked out of the house so he packed up and got ready to return home on Sunday. Upon returning home, Mr Iqbal's wife showed him the different camera angles of the incident where they then discovered the man had in fact squatted down and defecated on their drive.

CCTV footage supplied to LancsLive shows that after 6.30am, a man ran onto the drive, pulled down his pants and squatted along the fence of the drive way. After he finished relieving himself, the man struggled to get his trousers on and stumbled along the driveway as he made his exit.
As he was walking away he could be seen leaving a trail of his feces while attempting to redress himself behind a car. At this point, he had thrown his boxer shorts over the garden wall and into the neighbours house before running off, leaving his waste on the drive, according to Mr Iqbal.
The couple were horrified at what they saw and decided to post the footage on Facebook to see if they could get someone to identify the man. "I found out literally within the hour after posting it on social media, who the person was and when I got back. I've messaged them to contact me to clean what they've left behind and they never contacted me," Mr Iqbal said.
"The guy who's done it, he contacted me saying he's really sorry and he wants to pay £50. I said, I don't want the money, I want him to come and clean the c**p he's left behind. I'll give him a bucket of water, clean it and pick up your underwear from next door and take it with you.
"It's not about the money. I said, yes, I was angry. I said yes if it wasn't Ramadan, I would've hit him but I'm fasting and it's the month of forgiveness and I'm going to forgive him. Come and clean your c**p, pick your underwear up and go.
"It is disgusting. You could've had anyone walking past and to see a naked man, anyone could've seen that and you don't want to be seeing that stuff. There's a petrol station just literally a hundred metres away that have go toilets, go there, not on someone's driveway.
"I want an apology and he can apologise to my Mrs because she got woken up by the racket because our driveway is CCTV'd up but it's got a sensor so if anyone leads up the driveway it triggers off the CCTV alarm. She was woken up early thinking it was just some randomer running from another house but lo and behold, he's had a number two."
Mr Iqbal noted that while the act itself was horrific enough, it was made even worse by the fact that he had done it in broad daylight. "We're disgusted. I was gobsmacked thinking, if it was the middle of the night then okay- it doesn't matter really what time- it was in the morning and you've just done it in somebody's garden and gone, you've just left your c**p behind.
"Luckily my kids weren't at home- to see that, a guy exposing himself and deciding to empty his bowels, is just not right, it's really disgusting behaviour. He could've come back later and clean but he hasn't."
Mr Iqbal confirmed that the human waste remains on his drive as he wants the culprit to come and clean it himself.
