Police in Plymouth have been searching for the notorious bottom sniffer who has been frequenting Cornish supermarkets, ever since news broke of the man's peculiar practice, and today their efforts have paid off.
A man was caught on CCTV paying 'unnatural' attention to the hind-quarters of a male shelf stacker. The man was filmed for over 20 minutes in close vicinity to his 'victim' and was only caught out when he sneezed. When the shelf stacker told the manager, he immediately checked the security cameras and sure enough, to his horror, he saw this man coming too close for comfort and inhaling his derriere.
This gave the shelf stacker an idea which could help the police catch this person who desperately needs psychiatric help. He recruited 6 of his colleagues and equipped them all with radio microphones. They then ate 10 Brussels sprouts each and half an hour later they hit the shelves. They then lay in wait for the sniffer to appear.
The original victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told In Seine News; "I was restocking the biscuits aisle when a co-worker radioed in that he had been spotted in the pet food aisle and was fast approaching me. I was ready for him this time! Then I was joined by four others all down the aisle. When he came up to me again and got within range I let go of almighty ripper and so did the others. The stench was bad, really bad and the poor chap didn't stand a chance and was soon overcome by the fumes. The man lay unconscious on the floor. We thought we killed him at first, but then saw that he was breathing and he had a big smile on his face. Immediately the police were called and they arrested the man and took him to Plymouth police station."
The supermarket had to be closed for the rest of the day until it was safe for the public to use again!
A 42-year-old man, known only as 'Fido', was questioned as to his odd behaviour and in his defence he revealed that he had been treated like a dog for most of his life. Having a wife who was a real bitch he was fed dog food and taken for 'walkies' he thought that it was only natural to sniff people's bottoms.
