Crime Blotter: 'Naked Zorro' Alleged Flasher on the Loose
Aug. 26, 2005 -- -- A "Naked Zorro" is on the loose in Pennsylvania, a heavy conscience gets the better of an alleged thief, and a postal workers adds more than milk and sugar to his co-workers' coffee. "The Crime Blotter" is unapologetic and take its coffee black when it deals with odd tales in crime and punishment.
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania man dubbed "Naked Zorro" hasn't been sweeping women off their feet as authorities seek his arrest for a string of flashing incidents.
Police are not sure whether they are looking for just one person or two different people, but they say they have received complaints from women in Doylestown, and Bucks and Montgomery counties. The last reported incidents came in May, as three Doylestown women complained that they were approached by a man who talked dirty to them and then flashed them.
"I think it's disgusting," Mary Vogel, a concerned Newtown resident, told ABC News affiliate WPVI. "Us women have to struggle as it is and have to deal with a man flashing. It's not good."
Witnesses said the Zorro in the Doylestown incidents was covered with a cloak initially. His only other attire was sneakers. The alleged flasher in an earlier incident in Bucks County was reportedly wearing a "Zorro-type" mask.
Authorities say they want to find "Naked Zorro" and hope his behavior does not become more disruptive.
READING, Pa. -- A heavy conscience apparently got the better of a thief who decided to return items he had stolen from a judge 12 years ago.
According to York County Common Pleas Judge Arthur E. Grim, a man approached him and gave him two out of the three antique mantel clocks he said he had stolen while the Berks County Courthouse was undergoing renovations in 1993.
