RED paint was thrown at a vehicle and windows in an act of vandalism against the property of a retired farmer.
Pamela Willis was at her home at East Upsall Farm between Guisborough and Nunthorpe on Wednesday evening (February 16) when she heard banging on her window.
On investigation, she found that red paint had been thrown over her windows.
She then discovered that red paint had also been thrown over her car, and later that the oil fuel tank outside the house, had been punctured.
Mrs Willis said: “Just before seven o’clock, there was such a banging on my window.
"I thought well that’s not the wind, and I’m a bit scared, I thought someone’s trying to break into the house."
"I rang a friend up, and when they came down, they’d gone, they weren’t here three minutes.
"The house has been covered in paint, my car’s been covered in paint.
"My oil fuel tank has also been punctured.
