Homeowner left in shock after CCTV caught woman kicking his £75k McLaren supercar

A homeowner has been left in shock after his home CCTV caught a woman kicking his supercar worth £75,000.

Gareth Edwards, who runs a painting and decorating business, was left stunned after reviewing footage showing the stranger repeatedly kicking his yellow McLaren 570S on the driveway of his Bush Hill residence.

The 33-year-old described the incident as "shocking behaviour" and expressed his disbelief at what had occurred.

He said: "I was just shocked."

The business owner added: "It's very strange, such a weird thing to do."

Mr Edwards said that he "didn't think there were people like that in the world today".

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed officers are looking into the matter after receiving a report of criminal damage to a vehicle.

The incident unfolded at 8.45am on June 16.

Mr Edwards became aware of what had happened approximately 10 minutes later.

His home security system recorded the entire episode.

It showed a woman carrying a shopping bag as she walked along the pavement outside the property.

Without any apparent provocation, she then turned onto the driveway and proceeded to kick the front of the parked yellow supercar multiple times.

The attack left two scratches on the bonnet of the McLaren 570S, a British-made mid-engined vehicle that was manufactured between 2015 and 2021.

Mr Edwards estimated that professional repair costs would be between £200 and £300 to restore the damaged paintwork.

The business owner told the BBC that he has been forced to take precautions following the bizarre attack.

He has relocated the high-performance vehicle to a friend's property while he travels abroad on holiday.

The McLaren 570 is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine capable of producing 562 brake horsepower.

It can accelerate from standstill to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and reach speeds of up to 204 mph.

Dyfed-Powys Police said officers "received a report of criminal damage to a motor vehicle" and confirmed an investigation was underway.

The force has not yet indicated whether any suspects have been identified from the CCTV footage.
