If I lived in Sydney,I would surely have been accused of this.

But I don't live in Sydney. I am thinking of using this tactic though. I certainly use it enough on the internet.

A restaurateur installed CCTV outside his establishment in an attempt to catch the person who had been leaving a dirty calling card on the pavement outside his establishment every night for the last four years.

Footage from the surveillance camera set up outside the business in North Ryde, Sydney finally enabled police to charge 71-year-old millionaire property owner Salvatore 'Sam' Cerreto with 'wilful and obscene exposure and offensive behaviour'.

Cerreto was allegedly captured on camera walking to the tenant's restaurant on Coxs Road with a ream of toilet paper, pulling his trousers down, and squatting in front of the restaurant.

For four years, food outlets along Coxs Road in North Ryde had complained to police of similar discoveries.

Deposits included human excrement wrapped in paper, which was left on door handles or in flower beds or near outdoor seating.

Mr Cerreto's property portfolio along Coxs Road, North Ryde, includes a building that is home to 13 street-front businesses.

But the reason for the alleged night-time offerings are unclear.

Detective Inspector Doug Revette from Gladesville police said officers had received complaints from cafe owners and restaurateurs in the commercial centre about someone defecating intermittently on their doorsteps, or on the pavement outside their premises.

Revette said, 'It is alleged that at 4.30am on January 13, a surveillance camera recorded a 71-year-old man defecating on the footpath outside one of two adjoining restaurants.

'The owners recognised the person and called police. We don't know what gripe he has with the two businesses. He would only say he had a good reason to do it but wouldn't tell us.'

The affected tenants include operators of restaurants, cafes, delis, a hairdressing salon and a pathology centre.

They are said to be relieved at the arrest.
