THERE was an unwanted surprise left on the doorstep of an Oswestry business at the weekend.

Staff at Hartey Wealth Management, in Salop Road, were left in shock after discovering CCTV footage which showed a passer-by defecate beside one of the building’s walls.

The culprit could be seen squatting at the side of the building at around 4.30pm on Sunday, and leaving shortly afterwards without cleaning up their mess.

It was not a welcome surprise for manager of the Salop Road business, Karl Hartey, who posted pictures of the incident captured on CCTV onto Facebook.

He posted: “Anyone know who this guy is, he decided to do a dump on our office door step on Salop Road, on Sunday around 4.30pm, he left something behind which we would like to return to him."
