Tar-ry, tar-ry night for an unfortunate homeowner
A Dania homeowner rose one morning last fall to hot tar on the driveway, front door and front walk/porch.
Broward Sheriff’s Office released the surveillance video Monday in hopes of catching the industrious duo, who somehow managed to obtain buckets of the hot liquid blackness at 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 29.
The camera view from above the front door shows one malefactor, in a light-colored hoodie and dark shoes, shuffling up and tossing a heavy bucket of tar at whatever is just below the camera. A different angle shows Hoodie Guy appearing to telling his fellow miscreant where to spread his tar. Vandal No. 2 wore a a shirt over his head and shorts.
No feathers were involved in the vandalism.
The homeowner estimated the pair did $3,000 worth of damage. Coincidentally, that’s the same maximum reward for tips to Broward Crime Stoppers, reachable at 954-493-8477 or through the website. People with information also can call BSO Detective Ryan Schnakenberg at 954-518-0138.
