Elderly couple targeted in calculated attacks involving manure, paint stripper, and car damage. Police investigate.
The video shows a woman at their door holding newspaper with manure inside. She also appeared to have something in her mouth. The Lotts believe it was glue, intended for the keyhole.
Last year, on April 28, someone targeted them as well. CCTV showed paint stripper on their cars then, leading the Lotts to believe it’s the same person now. They are pleading with the woman to stop hurting them.
Their daughter, Julie, is very upset, as her parents are distressed by the awful act. She has shared pictures online, hoping to identify the individual responsible. The family remains baffled as to why this is happening to them.
Julie explains that the person used a red umbrella and was captured clearly on CCTV during the entire strange act. The family doesn’t know who could have done this, and she wants the person caught and held responsible.
The previous attack resulted in significant damage to their cars. Someone poured paint stripper on them, and black paint covered the windows. Construction foam was also placed into the exhaust pipes and the lock, ultimately totaling both cars.
Police are currently looking into the crime and confirm the damage occurred in Hockley, specifically on Main Road. They were notified around 3:15 PM on February 9.
