Lanarkshire cops hunt vandals who smeared car with dog dirt and daubed 'grass' on windscreen

Police have confirmed investigations are ongoing after a car was covered in animal excrement in East Kilbride and the word 'grass' plastered on the windscreen.

The disturbing incident, which occurred on Russell Place in Westwood this week, also saw the tyres slashed, wing mirrors broken, windows painted and number plates removed.

There was also damage to a garden, with the owners of the property understood to not have been home at the time of the attack.

Pictures of the aftermath were posted on social media.

A nearby resident told Lanarkshire Live: "It's actually nuts. Form what I believe the couple were on holiday and didn't even know what had happened. The car is bad enough but then some of the garden was dug up as well."

Another local wrote: "Saw this this morning on my way to work. Never heard a thing either."

While another added: "I hate with a passion the mentality of those who defend and use the word 'grass' as a retaliation to those righting a wrong."
