NEWTON CALLS IN POLICE OVER PRANKS
Veteran Australian entertainer BERT NEWTON has called in police over allegations he has been the victim of prank telephone calls, vandalism and a nasty letter campaign.
The 72 year old, who was hospitalised with a serious bout of pneumonia last month (Jun11), and his wife Patti have allegedly been targeted by vandals who have damaged cars at their home, while they have also received a number of creepy letters and obscene telephone calls.
Patti reveals they have alerted police and an investigation has been launched. She tells Australia’s Herald Sun, "Both Bert and my car (sic) have been damaged by idiots - badging and taking number plates and things like that… I get a lot of letters in the letter box… Bert was getting really major nasty calls on his mobile…
"I feel as though for the last few years our life has been one big drama… I guess you have got to realise 50 per cent of the people like you and 50 per cent of the people don’t, and the ones that don’t like you let you know."
