THIS is the shocking moment a naked man in a “gimp mask” prowled a neighbourhood’s streets as cops investigate the creepy figure.
CCTV cameras captured the nude creep wandering through the quiet seaside town of Lytham, Lancashire, wearing just a mask, socks and trainers at 1am on July 18.

Lancashire Police branded the video “concerning” and said they were “taking the matter seriously” after the pervert was caught on camera.
The disgusting footage, which was originally posted on a local street’s 100-member WhatsApp group, went on to be widely shared online.
Now, a 40-year-old homeowner has spoken for the first time about capturing the repulsive scenes on his home CCTV system.
He said the incident had divided opinion with half of his neighbourhood finding it funny – while others have been left feeling scared.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “We have a WhatsApp group for the street and a woman put on there ‘look what my dashcam caught’.
“And on the dashcam of the car, a guy walks past with a naked butt.
“I looked at the time, searched my CCTV, and got gold really.
“I didn’t think it got that cold that time of this year.
“Some people are scared about it. I suppose if you’re a woman, it could be scary, my wife doesn’t find the funny side.
“Some had a good laugh but others didn’t find it funny at all and are unhappy, people saying ‘my kids are scared to go out’.
“It is a bit weird, I wouldn’t want him to bump in to my missus.”
A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of a concerning video circulating on social media of a naked male wearing a face covering walking around Lytham in the early hours of the morning.
“This occurred in the area of Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street.
“This incident was not initially reported to police and has only been brought to our attention after it has been viewed on Facebook.
“Fylde Rural Task Force are currently conducting CCTV and house to house enquiries and would like to reassure you that we are taking this matter seriously.”
