CCTV footage shows a man appearing to stab a £350 paddleboard outside of a water sports equipment store in Barry. The criminal damage happened outside of the Tangaroa Watersports Equipment store on Broad Street in Barry on the morning of Sunday, July 2.
Owners of Tangaroa, Sarah and Nigel Evans, said they are now "scared" for their safety. On Sunday morning, Sarah said she was alone at the store opening up for the day when a man she described as "intimidating" approached. She says, "I had a creepy feeling about him and I didn't want him to come in." As he tried to enter the store, Sarah politely asked for him to leave as she told him the store was not open yet.
Hours after the man left, Sarah noticed that the paddleboard outside of the shop was deflated. It was not until reviewing the CCTV footage with her husband, Nigel, that she realised the man she spoke to earlier on had come back to stab the £350 paddleboard, destroying it.
