Man caught naked in a vehicle at a car park
A NAKED man gave police a bit of a shock when they spotted him sitting in a car in a South Derbyshire car park.
While on routine patrol, officers spotted the Mazda with its engine running in a closed car park and pulled up next to it on Saturday to see what was happening.
However, they were left shocked when they discovered the man, who was alone, was naked.
He claimed he had stumbled across the car park by accident after taking several wrong turns, having been heading out to a shop to buy wet wipes.
However, he could not provide a reasonable excuse for why he was naked, the officers said.
They said another man, who was clothed, was sitting in a car nearby, and there have been concerns raised by rangers at beauty spots after finding used wet wipes and litter in car parks. Both men were given Covid fines.

to a parked Mazda vehicle with its engine running in a closed public car park in South Derbyshire.
“On pulling up next to the car officers were startled to discover a lone male in a complete state of nature. Naturally, officers challenged the nude male, asking him why he was in a closed car park. The man claimed he had stumbled across the car park by accident after taking several wrong turns, having just made a specific journey to a shop to purchase a pack of wet wipes.
“However, 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.”
