A spokesperson for the force said: “Naturally officers challenged the nude male, asking him why he was in a closed car park.

"The man claimed he had stumbled across the car park by accident after taking several wrong turns, having just made a specific journey to a shop to purchase a pack of wet wipes.

“However, the male was unable to provide a reasonable excuse of why he was stark naked in the car park during the height of a national lockdown.

“Please keep safe and only make essential journeys.”
