After entering the house, I found that the window grills were broken, one TV was missing and another one was damaged beyond repair. All beds were broken, and many household items were either missing or damaged. The refrigerator was also broken. All CCTV cameras on the property were damaged. On the sliding glass panel of the gallery, 'F*uck you' was painted in green. I was extremely disturbed and frightened by the state of the property. I immediately informed the concerned local authorities."
