Kerb crawler, 95, given warning

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."

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."
