Police appeal over nuisance smurf

5:06pm Wednesday 6th June 2012 in News By Ian Craig

Police are appealing for information after several reports of a man who “looked like a smurf” acting suspiciously in Longhope.

Members of the public called police twice during the day on Saturday June 2, and once on Sunday May 20, concerned a man dressed in a blue ‘morphsuit’ may have been following women in the area.

Officers are keen to speak to the man to establish his motives.

One witness told police the man was dressed in a blue skin-tight outfit, had blue face paint on and “looked like a smurf”.

He has been seen waving at women and doing star jumps while running up to them.

Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 192 of June 2.

Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via crimestoppers-uk.org
