Brits have been left shocked as a home believed to be a ‘brothel’ is attacked by vandals.

Locals had a rude awakening when a house on their quiet road was doused in red paint.

The unassuming property was covered in the paint whilst also having incriminating spray paint left on the side of it.

The front door was splattered by the red paint whilst the side wall has the words ‘brothel’ sprayed on them.

The shocking discovery was made on the morning of 3 Nov with locals believing the attack took place overnight, as reported by Need To Know.

The vandalism stretches across two properties on Downsell Road, Leyton, Waltham Forest, London.

A resident, who asked to remain nameless, has revealed these ‘targeted’ incidents have been happening ‘a lot’.

The spray paint on the terraced houses also seems to include a phone number.

Locals have been left disgusted by the vandalism, especially with a school operating nearby.

The concerned resident, 42, said: “Someone has now targeted this property in Leyton, Downsell Road.

“This has been happening quite a lot in Leytonstone.

“It’s so horrible to now also see this in Leyton.

“The road is a school road meaning many young children would be walking past that.

“Also the side wall that has been targeted belongs to a business that is really honest and offers faith based healing so they must be horrified by this.

“This has been happening to a lot of properties within Waltham Forest so it’s shocking to see it’s still going on.

“I’m glad I was not asked by my child what the word written on the side meant as she is way too young and innocent to understand.

“She was also upset by this as it’s a property we pass regularly and could not understand why people would do that.”

Jam Press has approached the MET Police for a comment who are unable to comment on individual incidents of anti-social behaviour or criminal damage.
