PRINCE GEORGE – A Prince George woman has shared a terrifying story on social media after she experienced a random attack Monday night.

Kaitlin Hoogeveen says she and her boyfriend were having a late-night coffee,at the Time Hortons near Spruceland Mall, when a man ran up to her car, knocked on the window, and doused the vehicle in the spray.

Kaitlin said, her first instinct was to jump out of the car and yell at the man, but she thought otherwise in case he doubled back.

She documented the damage to her car and contacted the police to report the incident.

She then turned to social media to warn others. “I want to get the word out there because, is someone with a child, that was in the backseat and have that happen to them, or anyone for that [sic] fact.”

If you were in the area on Monday, April 26, and witness anything or have potential dash cam footage, between 10:30 and 11 p.m., you’re asked to contact the RCMP.
