You read that headline correctly. Surry Police are going on undercover jogs in an effort to catch catcallers.
There's a whole article on LBC about it.
This is Not the Bee quoting LBC just so you don't get confused:
LBC joined officers on patrol during the evening rush hour in Reigate, where the scale of the problem became apparent almost immediately.
Two undercover officers were targeted within minutes — a man in a large truck honked and made gestures out the window as he passed them.
"Honked and made gestures."
By golly, put the guy in prison!
More:
LBC witnessed two men driving a van stopped by officers after harassing a female runner - eventually apologising at the scene.
'They said sorry to us and it meant a lot as it shows this operation is working - we're out here making change happen.'
It's already producing results - in its first four weeks throughout July, 18 arrests were made for offences including harassment, sexual assault, and theft uncovered during the patrols.
Eventually, they'll tell us how many of those 18 arrests were sexual assault and theft and how many were simple harassment.
Way later, they might also tell us how many of the offenders were natural-born Brits.
