POLICE are looking into claims a mysterious man is handing out notes to random women asking for a 'private £arrangement'.
Cleveland Police has received two complaints from women in Middlesbrough who said they had been handed a note by an unknown man.
The note is identical and reads: "“I don’t have time to talk right now.
"I am not looking for a girlfriend or relationship.
“I am looking for a possible private £Arrangement .
“If you understand my meaning.
"I make no promises."
A police spokeswoman said handing out leaflets in itself was not a crime, but if the women involved were distressed by it then it could be a crime.
One woman said she had been handed the note in a pound shop in the Cleveland Centre, but the man walked away before she had a chance to see who it was.
Another was told she had dropped something and she reached down to pick up the note.
- There is a telephone number on the note, but it was going straight to voicemail when called.
