Police stop ‘half naked’ woman walking down the street

Police swooped on a scantly-clad woman as she strolled down a street while appearing to be wearing nothing at all on her lower half.

The woman was actually wearing a very tiny pear of denim shorts — but her skimpy attire wasn’t immediately apparent to shocked passersby. 

Officers caught up with the mysterious woman, who is in her 20s, after residents on the Merseyside street got in touch to report the revealing sight. 

Police were able to confirm that she was wearing minuscule cut-off shorts after officers began looking for her when resident Kirsty Holt posted a picture on Facebook. 

A spokesman for the force said that officers advised the woman to wear more appropriate clothing 

Ms Holt wrote: ‘Why is there a woman walking down the high street with no pants or knickers on?’

Others quipped she must be going for a swim and had already got changed into her bathing costume.

A Merseyside Police spokesman said: they were called yesterday at 1.15pm by a worried member of the public.

A spokesman for the force said: ‘We were called to reports of a woman walking down the road. 

‘Officers advised her to wear more appropriate clothing. No offences were committed.’
