Can you believe this !!..At Age 95 !!




Kerb crawler, 95, given warning

From the BBC News Page


A 95-year-old man has been arrested during a crackdown on kerb-crawlers.

Police detained the pensioner after he picked up a prostitute in
Bournemouth, Dorset, but he was let off with a warning because of his age.

Insp Mark Kelly said: "He picked up a girl, took her somewhere nearby and
officers intervened as they were getting down to sexual activity."

During the six-month crackdown, police arrested 40 men in the town and 35
will be attending a rehabilitation course.

Insp Kelly added: "They arrested him and brought him in but the custody
sergeant felt a reprimand would be most suitable rather than put him through
the courts system.

"We felt with his age it was not in the public's interest to proceed any
further."

Since April, 26 prostitutes have been arrested in the town.

Police said that if a man was found kerb-crawling a letter could be sent to
the licence holder of the vehicle, which could turn out to be his wife or
employer.
