The attack on the couple’s home back in April last year saw paint stripper poured over the family’s two cars.”I am infuriated and I want this person brought to justice. This is targeted, calculated behaviour and cannot be allowed to continue.”Ken and Diane Lott, both 81, were in tears after arriving home from a gig on the Isle of Wight when they saw the damage on February 9.”CCTV shows the person concerned entered the drive with a red umbrella up but they put it down to open the glue and so we have a very clear picture.”We as a family have no idea why this has happened and we do not recognise the person involved but it is definitely the same person as vandalised the cars last year.The couple, who live in Hockley, Essex, found manure had been smeared across their letterbox during the incident which they caught on CCTV.Both cars had to be written off.They believe the same person is responsible for both incidents and are appealing for the woman to stop.”I just want this person found. This is much more than damage to a door. It’s harassment.
