Who would toss hot tar on a house? These guys

A Dania Beach homeowner rose one morning last fall to hot tar on the driveway, front door and front walk and porch.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office released the surveillance video Monday in hopes of catching the pair, who somehow managed to obtain buckets of the hot liquid at 2:30 a.m. Sept. 29.

The camera view from above the front door shows one person, in a light-colored hoodie and dark shoes, shuffling up and tossing a heavy bucket of tar at whatever is just below the camera. A different angle shows the man appearing to telling his partner where to spread his tar. Vandal No. 2 wore a a shirt over his head and shorts.

The homeowner estimated the pair did $3,000 worth of damage.

That’s the same maximum reward for tips to Broward Crime Stoppers, reachable at 954-493-8477 or through the website. People with information also can call BSO Detective Ryan Schnakenberg at 954-518-0138.
