A MAN who was seen walking naked with his dog in woods near Salisbury has been interviewed by police.
Police put out an appeal for witnesses in July after a man was seen walking naked in Bentley Wood near Winterslow with his dog – multiple times.
The force has now identified a naturist from Winterslow as the suspect, and he was invited for an interview and has co-operated with police so far.
PC 70855 Ramsay from the Salisbury Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We recognise the concern and the wider discussion surrounding this incident and our enquiries into it are ongoing.
