Police are searching for a couple after reports they had sex in a churchyard during the coronavirus lockdown.

Nottinghamshire Police said it received reports of two people having sex in a churchyard in Sutton-in-Ashfield at around 5.30pm on Thursday, May 7.

The incident is believed to have happened in St Mary Magdalene’s churchyard in Church Street.

Ashfield District Commander, Inspector Mark Dickson said: ‘Nottinghamshire Police will not tolerate behaviour like this.

‘I would urge anyone with information that will help identify those involved to contact us. We are especially keen to speak with anyone who directly witnessed the incident.’

If you saw what happened you should call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 244 of May 11, 2020.

It comes after a man hiding from police in bushes in Nottinghamshire broke his cover when he farted at a rather inconvenient moment.

Police officers executed a warrant for an address in Harworth, near Doncaster, on Thursday and pursued a man into some woods near Brookside Walk.

But it appeared no sniffer dogs were required after they heard a noise ‘believed to be the sound of someone breaking wind from a nearby bush’, a Nottinghamshire Police spokesperson said.

And so the suspect’s cover was, quite literally, blown.

Another man was found hiding behind a fireplace at the address.

A 35-year-old man was arrested after failing to appear at court and a 30-year-old man was also arrested.
