Police issue warning after clowns spotted acting suspiciously in Northampton

Police are trying to track two men dressed as clowns who have been spotted acting suspiciously in Northampton.





A woman who lives in Milton Street, Kingsley, called the police on Thursday after two clowns knocked on her door and offered to paint her window sills.



The woman became suspicious of the pair as they had no painting equipment with them.



The men are described as having faces which were covered with a large amount of white paint. They were also wearing clown costumes. A number of sightings of people dressed as clowns have also been reported across Northampton in recent weeks.
