Overview

• Staffordshire Police were called at 5:35 pm on June 28 to reports of a naked man walking on London Road and confirmed he would face no criminal proceedings.
• Temperatures reached around 24 °C in North Staffordshire that day as the region experienced one of its hottest Junes on record.
• Onlookers captured footage of the barefoot individual casually passing shoppers near the Guild Hall and sprinting across a town centre roundabout.
• This event follows similar episodes in Staffordshire, including a June 20 mooning on Weston Road, a half-naked man escorted from woodland off Holst Drive, and a naked man chased by paramedics along the A500 in May.
• Police and paramedics have consistently treated these public nudity cases as welfare matters, reflecting legal guidelines that simple nudity does not automatically constitute an offence.
