The quiet spa city of Bath in Somerset has been rocked by a vandal defecating into newspapers and throwing it on to rooftops.

Signs have been put up in the city known for its Roman Baths pleading the culprit to 'stop, please' while others have politely asked 'please put it in the bin instead of our roof'.

In some places around the city, several brown newspaper packages have been seen on the same rooftop.

Another notice by a fire exit sign reads: 'I have just had to clean up all your mess after work.

'Please put it in the bin instead of our roof.'

Bath and North East Somerset Council and Avon and Somerset police have been contacted for comment.

This is not the first incident of this kind to occur in the city in recent weeks.

A Bath resident claimed that she was 'showered in human excrement' after her puppy picked up a plastic bag of mess in Walcot Recreation Ground on August 29.

She said that she believes it was left by 'rough sleepers'.
