Naked prowler in gimp mask caught on late night CCTV

|August 05, 2025
A nude man was captured on CCTV prowling the streets at night wearing nothing but a 'gimp mask' and trainers.
The bizarre sight was captured on doorbell cameras as he casually strolled past homes in Lytham.
A number of residents said they were left unnerved by the man's strange behaviour but nothing was reported to police.
He was first spotted after being captured on a car dashcam on Westby Street at just before 1am on July 18.
Locals say the clip was then shared on the street's WhatsApp group and more footage from the night was revealed, which was posted on Facebook and has now gone viral.
The clips show a young man, calmly striding down the street, naked but for his trainers and black mask.
