The masked woman is seen casually strolling through large gates and into an immaculate property in Brighton before squatting near the garden on Thursday morning.
After using the driveway as a toilet, she yanks up her tights, glances over her shoulder and makes a daring dash before anyone catches her in the unsanitary act.

The cyclist is described as a Caucasian female, in her 30s to 40s and was wearing a blue bicycle helmet, black jumper, black vest, black leggings and white shoes.
