Obscene photos of a man are being put up in public areas of Bloomington and Eden Prairie, and authorities said Wednesday that they are trying to figure out how to halt the postings.
Bloomington Deputy Chief Rick Hart said investigators are trying to determine whether the man in the photos is a victim or the person responsible for the postings, some of which have appeared at city parks and on utility poles and stop signs along well-traveled roads.
Hart declined to disclose much about what the photos show, out of concern of compromising the investigation, but he did say they are "very graphic and very obscene in nature."
He said there have been four postings in Bloomington this year and last, while Eden Prairie "has had a few as well."
Anyone with information about the photos is asked to call Bloomington Police Detective Kim Jones-O'Brien at 952-563-4924.
