POOP snoopers are making dirty movies to help clean up a city's streets.
Street wardens are scouring estates with a video camera to crack down on dog owners who allow their pets to foul parks and footpaths.
Peter Thompson, 46, and fellow street wardens are keeping a video diary of dog-fouling in Benwell, Newcastle.
The scheme could be rolled out across the city if it proves a success.
Mr Thompson hopes that by filming the problem and showing it to councillors, he can prompt a clean-up operation. He has enlisted the help of residents, who are reporting regular offenders.
