A man campaigning against dog owners who do not clear up after their animals has decided to hide in bushes in the hope of catching them in the act.

Andrew Hawes, from Leiston, plans to take photos of the culprits and publish the pictures online if they refuse to clear up the mess.

Once they are identified, Mr Hawes said he would pass the details to police.

He has also been using water based spray paint to leave the message "clean it up", and will use 10 days of holiday to step up his campaign, hiding in bushes around Leiston.

"If I have to go to court to explain my actions, if it's saving a child from getting dog mess in their eye and going blind through disease, so be it," he said.
