Streaker targets females walking in national park

GARDAÍ are warning female joggers, walkers and cyclists in Killarney National Park to be vigilant following complaints that a naked man is performing lewd acts in broad daylight.

There have been four separate complaints over the past 10 days, with most of the incidents occurring in the evening while it is still light, Sergeant Ray Walsh of Killarney garda station confirmed yesterday. Women wearing headphones are particularly vulnerable.

Extra garda patrols have been deployed and plain-clothes detectives are also combing the area concerned, he said.
