Candid camera shots have been taken of a man suspected of being responsible for a dog notorious for leaving a trail of muck around Hove.
Now Brighton and Hove City Council has urged people who witness the pooch and his or her owner to get their camera phones out and start snapping - or if possible shoot video footage of the mucky pup in the act.
The council said they are willing to prosecute the dog's owner but can only do so if they have proof the man is letting his animal go to the toilet wherever he pleases.
Some people have already got into the act and emailed footage to the council of the dark-haired man they believe is deliberately taking his dog to the area surrounding Hove train station with the sole intention of getting him to go to the toilet.
People working in Hove Business Centre have reported the man's actions via the national Fix It website - a place where issues affecting an area can be brought to the attention of a local authority.
