What happens when a quiet village is suddenly rocked by a man running around naked in the middle of the night? Sounds like a scene straight out of a comedy movie, right? But this is no joke – it’s reality for the residents of Lytham, Lancashire!

Reports began surfacing towards the end of July about a peculiar figure making his rounds in the wee hours, clad only in trainers and a gimp mask. Yes, you read that correctly! A naked man, wandering the streets while residents were still deep in slumber, captured this bizarre sight on their Ring Doorbell cameras and CCTV.

This unusual footage quickly gained traction online, but here’s the kicker: the police only learned about it through social media posts. Imagine that! A village on high alert because of what should be a private moment caught on camera.

According to Fylde Police, the incident occurred around 12:50 AM on July 18, contradicting initial online claims that it happened on July 31. As the hunt for this elusive man continues, local authorities are asking residents to submit any similar video evidence they may have, emphasizing the 'concerning' nature of the incident.

“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,” the police shared on social media. “This incident was not initially reported to police and has only been brought to our attention after it has been viewed on Facebook.”

As the investigation deepens, house-to-house inquiries are in full swing. The police are determined to reassure the anxious public that they are taking this matter seriously. After all, what could be more alarming than waking up to find a naked stranger wandering your neighborhood?

And while public nudity isn’t inherently illegal in the UK, it becomes a different story if it can be proven that the nudity is intended to shock or disturb others. So, what was this man’s intention? The residents are left feeling uneasy about the idea of this naked figure roaming around at night, adding a layer of mystery to an already bizarre incident.
