A special council 'dog fouling squad' described today how an undercover surveillance operation caught a serial offender - but it wasn't a dog. It was a man. The CCTV operation was set up after a member of the public made a complaint to the environmental health service at Kirklees Council, West Yorkshire. She was suspicious that the offending individual, who regularly left a mess in the same place in Cleckheaton, was not a dog. Councillor Martyn Bolt, cabinet member for the environment, said: 'An investigation confirmed the suspicions and concluded that the pile of excrement was not from a dog, but was of the human variety. 'It subsequently became apparent that this was not an isolated occasion, but appeared to be a regular stopping-off point. 'With the aid of a CCTV operation the culprit motorist was caught on camera with his trousers down - literally. 'It would appear that the man concerned regularly travelled between Birkenshaw and Brighouse, and instead of finding a public toilet, pulled up at the side of the road to do his 'business' there and then. 'It seems he regularly got 'taken short' at the same place.' He said the man had been traced and the matter was now in the hands of the police, adding: 'There really is no excuse for this sort of unacceptable behaviour which, in this case, may well have ended up in the 'give a dog a bad name' category - had the complainant and our officers not spotted the difference.'
