Excrement through window

A ‘‘repulsive’’ attack by two teenagers on a Hamilton man’s home has left him unable to sleep in case they return.

Fairfield artist and father Brendon O’Farrell caught two teenagers stealing lemons from his tree close to midnight.

‘‘One of them got toey with me and I said to him, it’s f ...... midnight, go away, f... off,’’ he said.

They fled and he went to bed. He also informed the other people who share the rental property as well as his closest neighbours. But it wasn’t the least he heard of them.

The following evening, January 13, he was woken by his son around midnight. As soon as he turned the lights off to return to bed, he heard his house being

pelted with lemons. He then heard something being thrown through his open bedroom window. It turned out to be what he strongly suspects is human faeces wrapped in a paper towel. The excrement splattered all over the window sill and a telescope resting against the wall and the lemons left splatter marks all over the cladding and windows of

his son’s bedroom.

‘‘That’s just repulsive,’’ he said.

The act unleashed a tidal wave of anger within O’Farrell, who saw the attack as a violation and an act of cowardice. He does not know who the teenagers were but has a ‘‘rough idea’’ where they live. The police have been notified.
