Police Report: A Smelly Prank on Ardmore

Something doesn't smell right on North Ardmore Avenue, where a resident believes they may be the target of an ugly form of political harassment.

One homeowner complained of finding a red Sendik's bag filled with dog feces on their front walk for the third time Sunday night. The residents believe the prank could be politically motivated, as they have several Sandy Pasch campaign signs on their front lawn.
