A man was caught "behaving inappropriately" on a Merseyside beach in broad daylight.
Officers from Merseyside Police were conducting county lines operations on Marine Drive in Southport on Tuesday, August 16 at around 2.10pm. Concerned visitors to the beach and RNLI officers rushed to tell police there was a man "behaving inappropriately on the beach."
Police found the man and went over to speak to him, however he attempted to flee the scene, being detained by officers a short time later. A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency.
