The next incident that caught the attention of the public was captured on CCTV footage, which showed a man engaging in a disgusting act of smearing feces on the windows and door of a bustling restaurant. To make matters worse, it was discovered that the same man had also targeted a pedestrian crossing near the popular Waitrose store by wiping feces on its buttons. The shocking allegations have led to the arrest of a 45-year-old man in Canterbury, Kent on charges of criminal damage.
The incident took place at the Caribbean restaurant, Saint Smokeys' BBQ House, on the morning of April 10th. When the staff arrived for work, they were horrified to find brown smears on the windows and a jammed door lock, which was later discovered to be caused by the smeared feces. The owners of the restaurant, Stevie Bradshaw, 36, and her husband Luke, along with her father-in-law, were taken aback and couldn't understand the motive behind such a repulsive act.
Stevie shared her disbelief, stating, "We were really shocked, disgusted, and confused as to why anybody would do such a thing, anywhere – let alone to us. When our staff told us about the incident, it was truly unpleasant." The CCTV footage showed a man outside the restaurant, making a deliberate attempt to spread feces all over the establishment at around 1:30 am.
The impact of this incident was not limited to the restaurant alone. The man had also targeted the buttons of a pedestrian crossing nearby, causing inconvenience to commuters and pedestrians. According to reports by Kent Live, the affected "street furniture" was the buttons on St George's Place, where the "green man" usually indicates when it is safe to cross.
The police, upon receiving complaints of the damage to the restaurant and the pedestrian crossing, took immediate action and arrested the suspect. A police spokesperson stated, "Officers have arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage in connection to the reported incident at St George's Place. The suspect remains in custody while investigations are ongoing."
The owners of Saint Smokeys' BBQ House were deeply affected by the incident, not only because of the damage caused but also due to the disruption it caused to their business. Stevie expressed her concern, saying, "The staff had to spend half of their morning disinfecting and thoroughly cleaning the premises. They had to put their work on hold to do that." It was a distressing experience for the owners and the employees, who had to deal with the aftermath of the incident.
The motive behind such a vile act is still unclear, and the investigation is still ongoing. The owners of Saint Smokeys' BBQ House hope that justice will be served, and such incidents will not be tolerated in their community. As for now, they are grateful for the support of the police and are hopeful that this unfortunate incident will not happen again.
