A Spanish town is deploying citizen street patrols and actors dressed as detectives to combat an invasion of dog droppings.

西班牙一處城鎮正在配置市民街道巡邏隊，隊員穿著如同偵探，以打擊狗屎入侵。

Actors in Sherlock Holmes costumes will spend the next two weeks pressing the case for cleaner sidewalks in Getafe, on the outskirts of Madrid. Then patrols will take to the streets to report any poo-petrators to the real police.

身著夏洛克‧福爾摩斯服裝的隊員將花費未來兩週的時間，促使位於馬德里近郊的赫塔費市能有更乾淨的人行道。巡邏隊將開始上街巡邏，把放任狗狗亂便便者告發給真正的警察。

"Residents asked for this," said a spokeswoman for the mayor’s office. A study in September, she said, showed an average of 7.8 pieces of dog excrement every 100 metres.

「居民要求這樣，」市長辦公室一名女發言人說。她說，9月的一份研究顯示，平均每100公尺就有7.8坨狗大便。
