Massachusetts, USA: Staff shut the Barclays in Andover, Hants, while the mess was cleaned up after 'a bald, middle-aged man, in his 40s' walked in and made his special deposits.

A man walked into a bank and defecated out of his shorts several times.

He was said to be middle-aged and well-to-do with a “calm but angry” look.

Customer Garreth McCarthy said: "I was just queuing up, there were about a dozen customers there, and this guy walked in.

“He looked pretty well to do. He was a middle-aged man, in his 40s, wearing shorts and trainers, and he had a bald head.

“He didn’t say anything at all, but you can tell from his face he looked angry.

Staff shut the Barclays in Andover, Hants, while the mess was cleaned up.

Garreth added: “I wasn’t really paying attention until I noticed a foul, but unmistakable smell.

“I looked at the guy and he was just calmly walking around the bank - going to all the areas he could.

“It’s quite clear what he was doing - he just had this calm but angry look on his face, as he walked around leaving special deposits on the floor.

“And then as calmly as he walked in he left.

“Staff didn’t know what on earth had just happened. The stench was unreal.”

A Barclays spokesman declined to comment.
