Man, 95, arrested for kerb-crawling Sep 20 2006
A 95-year-old man has been arrested during a crackdown on kerb-crawlers at a popular seaside resort.
The pensioner was detained by officers after he was seen to pick up a prostitute in Bournemouth, Dorset, but he was let off with a reprimand because of his age.
Inspector Mark Kelly said: "He had been driving around, picked up a girl, took her somewhere nearby and officers intervened as they were getting down to sexual activity.
"They arrested him and brought him in but the custody sergeant felt a reprimand would be most suitable rather than put him through the courts system.
"We felt with his age it was not in the public's interest to proceed any further."
