A WOMAN yesterday admitted scratching cars in a vandalism spree which was caught on camera.

Hazel Innes ‘keyed’ the cars while out walking her dog.

Footage of the 44-year-old was captured by a CCTV camera at the home of Shona Coull, whose BMW X3 was vandalised.

She posted the 23-second video on Facebook in the hope someone would recognise the culprit and it was viewed more than half a million times.

The footage shows the vandal strolling down Seaview Road in Buckie, Banffshire, with a pug on a lead just after 6pm.

After stopping to check if anyone is around, she takes a sharp object out of her pocket then runs it along the length of Shona’s car.

Innes, from Buckie, admitted three acts of vandalism – including targeting Shona’s car – when she appeared at Elgin Sheriff Court yesterday.

According to court papers, she dragged an item along the nearside of Shona’s 4x4 while it was parked in the town’s Seaview Road on January 22.

She also did the same to two other cars, a Nissan Qashqai and a Honda CR-V, in the town’s James Street during the same Friday night crime spree.

All three cars were parked around the corner from Innes’s home.

Shona claimed it had cost her nearly £1000 to get her car fixed – and she was still out of pocket.

Her video caused outrage in the town and on social media.

One viewer said: “Just watched the video again… she was actually smiling (when) she keyed (your) car!”

Innes’s not guilty plea to vandalising another car – a Honda Civic – was accepted by the Crown yesterday.

Sentence was deferred until next month for reports.
