An 89-year-old woman’s home in south Minneapolis has been targeted by a vandal for the 9th time since March.
Someone broke out windows on the first floor of Frances Mosley’s home just after 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, her son, Sean Mosley, told Fox 9 News.
Fox 9 News first reported this story in early November, after the sixth incident of vandalism at Mosley’s home. The vandal broke windows behind Mosley’s home on Thanksgiving morning and two more times since then.
“I don’t really feel secure here,” said Mosley, who lived in her home for over 50 years. Mosley is one of two Black families in the area.
Her son, Sean, installed security cameras, flood lights and an alarm. But the vandalism continues.
“I mean, it’s just ridiculous. It’s beyond belief,” Sean told Fox 9. “You’d think, what kind of person, what kind of deviant mind would think about doing this on Thanksgiving morning.”
Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson John Elder said the suspect wore dark clothing, a black ski mask and gloves. He placed tape over the tag on his tan or brown Ford Taurus.
Police say the vandalism is not a top priority because it is a misdemeanor property crime.
Sean believes the vandalism is the work of two people. “It’s very well planned, well thought out. They’re casing the place. They’re making sure that it’s okay to strike.”
Sean said he plans to put up fences around the home. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to get this person stopped,” he said.
A GofundMe account has raised over $10,000 to repair the damage caused by the vandals.
