Glued locks are a sticky predicament

Furious business owners found themselves in a sticky situation when vandals poured industrial strength glue through their door locks, reports the Lancashire Evening Post.

One man had to use a welding torch to get into his workplace when he discovered the damage.

In the most recent incident a CCTV camera filmed two yobs in the act at Option 4 car audio firm on Springfield Street in Plungington, Preston.

When owner Steve Roberts turned up for work on Thursday he found a rude slogan spray painted on his shutters - and couldn't get into his unit.

Steve said: "I have run my firm for 22 years and never had anything like this happen.

I couldn't get in because there was a strong resin glue, which contained iron filings, poured into the lock. Whoever did this intended to do a proper job. It cost me £100 to get new locks."
