A PILE of suspected human excrement and a black shirt has been left outside a Herefordshire home... with police now keen to flush out the mystery pooper!

The pile of excrement was found between the back door and gate of a home at Breinton Common, according to police community support officer Adam Westlake. 

A black shirt was also found left on a car bonnet at the address after the incident, which happened between 10pm on October 12 and 6am on October 13.

"The resident believes this was no accident, as his house is quite a distance from any other homes—plus, he's recently been spotted with a local MP, at a craft fair," said PCSO Westlake.
