A mother-of-four keyed a car she thought had parked too close to hers in front of her Children, causing nearly £1,000 worth of damage.

Sarah Webb, 45, had been out shopping with her children and returned to the car park at Prospect Place retail park, in Dartford, Kent.

The mother put her shopping bags in the boot of her car and then pulled her keys out of her handbag and used them to repeatedly scratch Trevor Breed’s Dacia Logan in front of her children.

Webb then put her kids in the car and drove off, leaving Mr Breed with a £1,000 repair bill for his motor.

The brazen mother was caught on CCTV and had denied causing the damage until she finally admitted what she had done on the eve of her trial.
