A 54-year-old resident of Barnes Hill, reported an incident of malicious damage to his vehicle at the Coolidge Police Station.

Douglas claims that his silver Nissan X-Trail SUV, which bears the registration number A2859, was tampered with by three young boys in the neighborhood, whose names he does not know. He said they were the sons of his girlfriend.

The incident is said to have occurred between 8:00 PM on July 12 and 6:00 AM the following day.

According to him, he heard a loud noise while at home and went outside to investigate, only to see the three boys fleeing the scene.

Upon his return from work the next morning, he discovered that both the right and left tires of his vehicle had nails lodged in them.

Additionally, he noticed damage to the front windshield, which he believed was caused by a hard object.

Police conducted an examination of the vehicle and have initiated inquiries into the matter.

Despite interviewing several individuals in the area, no significant information has been gathered regarding the suspects. The police have also enlisted the assistance of the Forensic Evidence Recovery Unit (F.E.R.U.) to process the vehicle for potential evidence.

      Who said she told him the name? Some women get man and neglect their kids. Could be a case where he never formally met the kids but he sees them when you go and pull up outside her house or whatever. At the ending of the day that’s not what the report is about. It’s about she having her kids do and trash the man car

    Whether or not it was the girlfriend’s sons, a smashed windshield and nails in the tires are no joke. Hope FERU finds solid evidence soon.
