Train Defecator Hunted

 

Updated: 17:16, Monday October 23, 2006

 

Police are searching for a man who has been defecating on trains across the country, causing around £60,000-worth of damage.

 

The offender has struck on at least 30 trains since August, mainly in the South East, smearing excrement inside the carriages.

 

He waits until he is alone in the carriage before committing the offence.

 

His "exceptionally anti-social" actions have even resulted in carriages being taken out of service.

 

British Transport Police warned that his unpleasant habit was creating a risk to public health.

 

The force has released CCTV images of a man officers want to speak to in connection with the investigation.

 

Detective Constable Donna Fox said the man's actions had resulted in "many carriages been taken out of service, causing disruption and cancellations to the train services and serious inconvenience to the travelling public.

 

"This is obviously a serious public health issue as well as being exceptionally anti-social," she said.

 

She added that there was no particular pattern as to when he appears.

 

"He travels to various areas and at different times of the day and different days of the week," she said.

 

"On at least one occasion CCTV footage shows the man being disturbed by a passenger walking through a train.

 

"We are appealing for this man or anyone else who may have witnessed this man committing offences to contact us."

 

She said that anyone who saw the man travelling on the railway network should not approach him, "but call the police or alert train staff immediately".

 

Anyone with information should call the BTP Witness Appeal line on 020 7391 5275.
