‘Mystery pooper’ plagues New Zealand swimming pool

A “mystery pooper” has pooed in Invercargill’s Splash Palace swimming pool five Friday evenings in a row.

City council aquatic services manager Pete Thompson said the culprit’s acts had cost the pool “tens of thousands of dollars” in lost revenue.

The pool was closed for cleaning for about six hours each time faecal matter was found in the water.

“It generally happens after 5pm each Friday night,” Thompson said.
