Two young men caught cycling with no clothes on have escaped charges of offensive behaviour, but received a warning to wear protective headgear.
Local policewoman Cathy Duder was unfazed when she came across the two nude men, both in their early 20s. "They were more shocked than I was, trying to cover up their bits and pieces with their hands," she said.
The men were riding around the Coromandel seaside resort of Whangamata on the north-east coast of New Zealand.
When asked for an explanation, the pair replied that "they wanted to experience total freedom". "And I said to them 'the way you're heading, you're going to experience total confinement'," the officer said, laughing.
She said the men appeared decidedly sober. "They didn't seem drunk at all. That's what worried me," she joked.
Ms Duder issued them with a stern warning for not wearing helmets and then sent them directly home.
