Mankini first victim of the seaside decency drive

Police forced a holidaymaker to hand over a Borat-style "mankini" as part of a drive to prevent loutish and lewd behaviour in a popular seaside town.

The Newquay Safe Partnership says the first few days of its "No Nonsense" ­campaign have resulted in a "great improvement" to the Cornish town's atmosphere.



Police are taking a low-tolerance approach to offensive T-shirts, sexually explicit antics and under-age drinking in the town which has become popular with teenagers celebrating the end of exams.

In the first few days of the campaign three men were told to hand over crude toys and clothing, including a mankini, and 12 people were asked to leave the town for disorderly behaviour. Police also arrested eight people for alcohol-related offences and five 16-year-old girls were sent home to their families in Bristol after being found drunk.
