HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP (KDKA) – Police are investigating after someone threw sardines at two homes in Westmoreland County.
According to police, the incidents happened on June 28, in Hempfield Township.
One of the incidents happened between midnight and 4 a.m. along Castlegate Circle. The other incident happened between midnight and 7 a.m. on Courtview Drive.
In both incidents, sardines were thrown at the homes.
"It has now defaced our house. The oil has actually caused damage to our house because the oil won't come off," Terri Harrell, who lives in the home on Castlegate Circle, said. "This is the second time it's happened to us."
"Every time it's done, we have to pay money to get it cleaned," Louis Harrell said.
"Now it's up to $470," Terri said.
A vehicle was also covered in shaving cream in the Courtview Drive incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Pennsylvania State Police in Greensburg at (724)-832-3288.
The Harrells say they're going to put up security cameras outside their house, and they have a message for the vandals.
"I just wish they would reconsider this because it is costing money and it's damaging and we're scared now because we don't know what they're gonna do next," Terri said.
"We obviously will forgive and show mercy to whomever's done it. The only question I have is why and what have we done to cause this?" Louis said.
