RUDE AWAKENING FOR RESIDENTS

Homeowners in one of Froghill’s more exclusive residential areas woke this morning to shocking evidence that no-one these days is immune from crime. 

During the course of last night, vandals visited their normally peaceful cul-de-sac and spray-painted over four letters on its street sign.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve been targeted,” said Simon Welby, chairman of the Pendennis Rise Active Tenants Society (PRATS).

“It wouldn’t have been so bad if they had just taken the Rise out of us - but this is going too far,” said Mr Welby, indicating the defaced sign, from which the letters ‘denn’ had been whited out.

“It makes us sound like some kind of cheap levitation trick,” he added with a snort of disgust.
