Hot summer weather appears to have prompted people to strip off in Colchester, with two reports of nudity.
One man was seen walking along High Street naked in the early hours of today.
Officers spoke to him and he put his clothes back on.
At about the same time, at Tesco in Greenstead, police said a man was upsetting customers and staff by pulling his trousers down.
The 24-year-old was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and was due to be questioned today.
Det Sgt Roger Napier, of Colchester CID, said: "We do get incidents from time to time, particularly in the warmer weather.
"It is usually induced by drink. It can be distressing to some people and amusing to others.
"It depends on the circumstances: in a supermarket, it is not likely to go down very well, is it?
