Nearly a dozen homeowners in Covington and Kent now claim to be the latest victims of home vandalism.
“It’s weird because it’s just vandalism, but I feel like my home and my safety was violated,” says Teresa St Arnauld. “I wasn’t sure if they were going to come back. And that was the scariest part of it.”
She describes how in the middle of the night on Friday, she heard several loud noises coming from outside. She checked her surveillance camera to see three men stealing her Halloween decorations, throwing a pumpkin at her car, and vandalizing her front porch.She is concerned about more than just having her decorations destroyed, other victims have had windows and doors smashed in as well.
St. Arnauld believes these acts of vandalism are related, and tells KIRO 7 if the vandals are caught, she plans to press charges. She hopes they’re arrested soon, adding “What are they gonna do next weekend? What are they gonna do on Halloween night? If they keep escalating someone’s gonna get hurt.”They are encouraging residents that if their house does become a target, to not engage. They advise staying in your home and calling 911.
