A naked man wearing nothing but a black gimp mask and sneakers has been caught on creepy video prowling the streets of a quiet seaside town in England.
Video of the phantom flasher wearing a bondage hood while stalking the streets of Lytham at night has some shaken locals spluttering into their tea.
“It’s a gimp mask, I’ve watched the footage. I’ve no idea what he thinks he’s doing,” a resident who didn’t want to be named told PA Media.
“In the days after, we saw a young man, fully clothed, walking around the streets, looking up and around, seemingly checking for cameras,” the source said.
“We think it’s the same man.”
A clip of the perv taken from a car’s dashcam was shared in a local WhatsApp group — before more footage from the same night was revealed and posted on Facebook.
The man is seen calmly walking through the small town’s residential streets around 12:50 a.m. on July 18.
Some residents saw the funny side.
“It’ll be someone who’s lost a bet,” a Facebook user quipped in the comments under the original post.
A second person said jokingly, “It was a hot night, what can I say?”
Another commenter said, “Brilliant. Is he single, asking for a friend.”
Police are hunting for the nude culprit, reviewing the footage and conducting house-to-house enquiries.
“We are aware of a concerning video circulating on social media of a naked male wearing a face covering walking around Lytham in the early hours of the morning,” a Lancashire Police spokesperson told Lytham St Anne’s News.
“This incident was not initially reported to police and has only been brought to our attention after it has been viewed on Facebook.”
Anyone with information is urged to get in touch with Lancashire Police.
