A 'SPOTTY-faced' door-knocker claiming to be a recently released armed robber has been caught on camera urinating in a Herefordshire village garden.

The man, who is described as being in his 20s, was seen going door-to-door in the Credenhill and Marden areas yesterday (November 13), claiming he was on probation and selling household items.

Police community support officer Adam Westlake said the man was reported to be dressed in a grey tracksuit, carrying a large Under Armour bag, with a spotty face and blond hair.

He has been telling people he is part of a release programme after serving time for armed robbery, and grievous bodily harm, among other stories, and is supposedly trying to turn his life around, said PCSO Westlake.

The man might seem polite at first, PCSO Westlake said, but several people have reported him being "pushy and even argumentative" if they refused to buy items from him.

"And as if that wasn’t enough, he decided to leave his mark in an unexpected way," the PCSO said. 

"One resident’s Ring doorbell captured him turning around and giving the garden a quick 'watering'. Thankfully, the camera didn’t have a powerful enough zoom to see too much detail—not that anyone wanted to!"

PCSO Westlake warned locals to be cautious and look out for each other.
