Caught on CCTV pensioner keying neighbour`s £60,000 4x4

This is the moment Pensioner Keith Ardley, 75, was so jealous of his neighbour's car Mr Marius Crisan's brand new Lexus 4x4 car was damaged out of anger and spite.

Mr Ardley was caught on CCTV running a key along the side of the black Lexus 450h Hybrid in the car park of the block of flats at Wimbledon Hall, in Bournemouth.

Jason Spelman, prosecuting, told the court that the couple had come up with excuses that just “didn’t make sense”.

He said: “We have CCTV which clearly shows the defendant scoring lines into the car.

“The defendant suggested that he was simply running his fingers along the car to feel for the scratches his wife had mentioned the day before.”
