Camouflaged man lurks in bushes to catch dog mess offenders

A man angered by owners not clearing up after their dogs is dressing in camouflage and hiding in bushes in the hope of catching them in the act.
Andrew Hawes, from Leiston, Suffolk, plans to take photos of the culprits and publish the pictures online if they refuse to clear up the mess. Mr Hawes said he would pass the details to police once offenders are identified. Lorry driver Mr Hawes, will use 10 days of holiday hiding in bushes around Leiston.
"If I have to go to court to explain my actions, if it's saving a child from getting dog mess in their eye and going blind through disease, so be it," he said. Mr Hawes, who believes his experience as a deer stalker will help his pursuit, said the sight of the mess previously made him cry.

"If they don't clear up after their dog I'll pop out of the hedge and say, 'excuse me, could you please clean up after your dog? You're being filmed - if you clean up the film will be deleted straight away - if not you'll be reported to the police' - as long as the person isn't about 7ft tall."
