YouTube prankster says ‘it’s not the crime of the century’ after sneaking into Pyramids Centre in Portsmouth

Discoboy’s video has been watched more than 30,000 times on the social media platform.

A second video of him inside Playzone after hours has also clocked up thousands of hits.

But he told The News: 'I know it's not the crime of the century - it's just a civil offence, a naughty thing to do.

'But you've got to get your kicks out of life somehow.'

The 25-year-old, who is not from Portsmouth, said it was ‘just a hobby’ and added: ‘I get DJ sets off the back of [videos].’

As reported yesterday, the video shows him inside the Southsea centre. The video was posted on March 11.

Hampshire police said it is a civil matter.

On the video three people enter the centre using the water slides and pool, and later make their exit through a fire escape at the front of the building, setting off the alarm.

As they leave a police car drives past and a person said: ‘Police are there, our hair is wet, our hair is wet – police are there, our hair is wet.'

A spokesman from Portsmouth City Council said: ‘We are aware of the situation and will be working closely with BH Live to understand how this happened, and what we will do in future to prevent a similar situation.’
