Law enforcement agencies began an investigation after a video was published online showing a naked man in a dark mask and sports shoes walking around the city at night.
The video, which was widely circulated online, is believed to have been recorded in Lytham, Lancashire.
The footage shows a man wearing nothing but a mask and black and white sneakers moving past residential buildings.
Lancashire Police said the incident happened at around 12:50am on July 18 in the area of Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street, although Facebook claimed a later date.
A spokesman for the department said: “We are aware of a disturbing video on social media showing a naked man with his face covered walking around Lytham in the early hours.
This case was not initially reported and we only became aware of it after it was posted on Facebook.
The Fylde Rural Task Force is currently analysing CCTV footage and canvassing the area, reassuring residents that the measures being taken are serious.”
Police are urging members of the public with any information or CCTV footage to contact [email protected].
