Police Warn Women Realtors To Beware Of 'Doug' And His Hair Fetish

OXFORD (CBS) – Police in Massachusetts are letting women Realtors know that they may be the target of some unsettling behavior.

The Oxford Police Department posted on Facebook Thursday about a man identifying himself as Doug who is the source of harassment claims from around the state.

The Realtors reported to police that "Doug" told them he was a hair stylist interested in buying property. He then asks the women if they'd like a haircut from him, and to send him a photo of their current hairstyle.

"It has been discovered that "Doug" is not a hair stylist and only wants the pictures to support his hair fetish," police said.

Oxford police have contacted "Doug" and told him to stop, and they say they haven't gotten any further complaints.

Police are asking people to spread the word, and their Facebook post has already been shared hundreds of times.
