Police have revealed their most-unusual lockdown callouts - including a pair having sex outdoors and a naked sunbather.

Both incidents were recorded in different areas of the country earlier this month.

Following the first callout, police have issued a warning after a couple were caught having sex in public.

While the pair were discovered by a police force in Sussex, anyone else thinking of doing the same outdoors elsewhere across the UK have been urged not to do so.

The incident, which happened on June 7, prompted a police officer to offer some tongue-in-cheek advice to any couples considering an al fresco love-making session during lockdown.

PC Tom Van Der Wee, an officer from the Sussex Roads Policing Unit who was called to the incident, has urged people to wait until they were in the safety of their own home before “engaging in sexual acts”.

Posting an image of the report on Twitter, he said: “If you’re going to meet up with your beloved for a picnic, please wait until you get home before having dessert.

“[The] couple [were] located and suitable words of advice [were] given.”
