Police say sex doll left on doorstep is not a crime

A retired builder called police after a blow-up doll with an explicit message was left on his doorstep. Harry Cullen, 60, was shocked to find the inflatable doll outside his front door.

The doll, a blonde female, was in a bin liner and came with a rude message scribbled on some paper, including the words 'Please look after me'.

Mr Cullen says he was the victim of pranksters, and wants police to investigate what he says is harassment. But he is angry as he says he visited the police station with the blow-up doll and was told he should put the doll in the bin.



Two police officers visited Mr Cullen's home and it was decided that no crime had been committed. Mr Cullen, of Tennyson Crescent, Waterlooville, said the whole ordeal had left him bewildered. He said: 'I heard a bang at the door like somebody trying to kick it.

'I opened the door and found a blow-up doll in a bin liner. I was very offended. It's very childish. We have respectable people living round here and they don't want to see something like that.'

A statement from Hampshire police said: 'We take all allegations of harassment seriously. Mr Cullen was visited at home by two PCs in relation to this matter and it was agreed by all parties that no criminal offence had taken place.'
