WESTLAKE, Ohio -- Westlake police are asking for the public's help to identify three juveniles accused of terrorizing one family with ketchup and mustard.

Surveillance cameras caught the culprits dousing the victims' 2002 Buick parked in the family's driveway in the 25000 block of Hilliard Boulevard with the condiments at 12:59 a.m. Friday.

It was the sixth time since February the juveniles have pulled the prank, Westlake police Capt. Guy Turner said.

"We're hoping someone who sees the photo will recognize their clothing or their shoes," Turner said.

Police suspect the teens responsible for the ketchup and mustard caper are Westlake High School classmates of the homeowner's teenage son, though the son said he has no particular beef with anyone at school.
