It's April 20th. This is Lester News today, AI-powered stories from your city. Someone's on a mission to mess with traffic rules in the village of Groby, Lestershire, painting over double yellow lines on Rabby Road. This unknown troublemaker hit first around Tuesday, April 14th, and the county council had to repaint them quick. Then over the weekend, they struck again right after the fresh lines went down, forcing another fix. Lesterpayer ran taxpayers about 200 pounds, but this latest one's hitting around 600 pounds total. Locals and counselors are straight-up furious, calling it childish and irresponsible. With schools nearby, those lines keep cars from parking dangerously and cut down on accidents. Folks say it's wasting money needed for real services. Counselor Azeo Shae labelled it criminal damage and wants the perp and court facing fines or community service. This cover reports on both incidents, but no arrests yet, and they're digging deeper. Even painted over, those lines still hold up legally for tickets.

Council's repainting this week and plans to chase repair costs, reminding everyone this petty stunt diverts funds from what matters.
