Wrong Track: Marlborough Slot Car Club member Nigel Boyce is incensed their low-budget, community club has been tagged.
A Blenheim man was gutted when he discovered his clubrooms had been spraypainted by vandals.
On Monday morning, Marlborough Slot Car Club member Nigel Boyce arrived at the clubrooms, at A&P Showground in Maxwell Rd, to find the building had been broken into and the interior tagged....
The offenders kicked in the front door of the clubrooms, breaking the lock, and stole about 12 cans of spraypaint. They tagged the walls, the slot car track, electrical sockets, computer screens, floors and benches. Nothing was stolen besides from the spraypaint, Boyce said.
It took three men about four hours to clean up the mess.
"This is our hobby, our sport," Boyce said. "It's just mindless vandalism."
