The woman, who lives with her teenage son, said she had to call a door repairman, as she was not able to open the door on her way to work on April 20.
They found out that the door had been jammed due to a large amount super glue applied to the gaps around the door frame. The glue was also found on the door bell, door knob, and keypad.
The police are searching for the suspect involved with the case through surveillance footage from cameras installed near the house, while the victims have requested police protection over concerns for their safety.
“We are conducting an investigation by reviewing CCTV footage from near the house. We have also strengthened monitoring around the area,” a police officer said. “The suspect, depending on the reason and motives of the act, may be charged with property damage or violations of other laws.”
