Pub urinal thief finally flushed out - Update

Police have captured the man who stole a urinal from a Southampton pub.

The man was captured on CCTV walking into the gentleman's toilets at the Royal Oak pub in the city centre after casually enjoying half a pint at the bar.

He spent 40 minutes removing the urinal from the toilets before slipping it into his backpack and walking out of the pub.

The man handed himself into police in Salisbury yesterday afternoon.

He was questioned and cautioned for the theft and no further action will be taken, said police this morning.

The man, who has not been named but who is from the Bishop's Down area of Salisbury, also handed in the urinal to the police, which they intend to return to the pub.

When questioned he told officers how he had taken the urinal "as a sort of souvenir".
