'From being a beautiful, historic building, it is a derelict shell of itself.'
The six-bedroom home was targeted by ‘mindless’ youngsters A £1.2 million home was ransacked by ‘evil’ children as young as 11, who caused more than £200,000 worth of damage using axes and chainsaws. The owners told a court they feel ‘distraught’ after the Grade-II property in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, was left looking like ‘a war zone’. Joanna Pittard, husband Matt and their two daughters had planned to make it their family home before it was ‘absolutely trashed’ by the youths.
Paintings hung on the wall had also been smashed and left on the floor, while messages were carved into mahogany window sills and the bannister had been destroyed. Bathroom taps were pulled off and water was gushing everywhere – meaning Mr Pittard had to turn off the water supply as soon as they arrived to try and limit the damage. The couple found glass scattered ‘everywhere’, graffiti scrawled on walls and ‘hardly anything untouched’.
