This is the 'disgusting' moment a French woman was caught defecating in the street outside a New Zealand business.
Nik Black, the owner of APET Racing repair shop in Dunedin, said he discovered something which 'didn't look like it came from an animal' in the gutter on Monday.
As he checked CCTV footage from two cameras outside his shop he watched in horror as a woman walked into the frame before squatting in the curb.
After completing her business, the woman can be seen pushing the waste into the gutter with a tissue before walking back up the street.
She then climbs back into a run-down van where she appears to be staying with her male partner.
Mr Black told Daily Mail Australia: 'They shouldn't be doing that in town. It's not the same as being out in the bush.
'It was pretty disgusting to see that sort of thing. There's a petrol station 100 metres up the road that's open 24 hours, so she should have gone there.'
Newshub reporters confronted the couple on Monday afternoon, who denied all knowledge of the incident.
The pair also told journalists that they had only stopped on the street because their van was broken, before driving away.
Mr Black added that they couldn't have gone far, because the vehicle did not appear to be in a good way.
It is illegal to camp in Dunedin inside a non-self-contained van, with offenders facing a fine of $200.
