Scots lottery winner's cars smashed up by sons in hammer attack after ‘refusing to share £3.1m’

Two brothers launched a hammer attack on new cars belonging to their Scots lottery winner father after he allegedly refused to share the £3.1m prize. Glasgow dad Alex Robertson was part of a 12-strong syndicate of bus drivers who shared a £38million cash pot back in 2012.

But the ‘life-changing’ win soon caused a major rift in the family after the two brothers, William and Alex Jnr, felt snubbed by their father who gave them just 200 cigarettes after the Euromillions win. The duo were so angry that they took matters into their own hands and targeted two luxury motors that were parked outside their dad’s home, the Mirror reports.

Alex Jnr, 45, said: "We ended up taking hammers to his two new 4x4 Shoguns. We walked up his driveway at 11 o'clock at night and put two claw hammers through the windows of the car. We then reported ourselves to the police."
