The Sun can now reveal that cops received a report of a vehicle having been damaged overnight on May 25.

Former glamour model Katie, 46, shared photos on Instagram the following day.

Cops are also urging witnesses to come forward.

A statement said: “Officers engaged with the informant to identify any viable lines of enquiry.

“No reasonable lines of enquiry have been identified at this stage, but anyone with information that could help is asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 1053 of 26/05.”

The Sun had told how the reality TV star had finally begun the process of moving out of the “cursed” property.

Katie shocked fans when she told social media followers: “Due to acid attack on my car at my house I’ve now been advised by authorities not to stay at Mucky Mansion anymore.”

She first revealed last week that she discovered someone had come onto her property in the middle of the night and splashed a corrosive substance over her pink Range Rover.

Sharing a video of the damage, with the pink paint bubbling and falling off to reveal the silver metal underneath, Katie launched a rant directed at the thugs who did it.

“Scumbags outside my house on my private property, I can’t wait to get out this house in a few months time,” she wrote over the video.

Speaking behind the camera, Katie added: “It’s nice to know someone in the night has come to throw acid all over my car. Everywhere, all on my car.

“Thank you, whoever that was.”

The star told fans on Friday she couldn’t wait to leave the mansion after years of bad luck and struggles managing it as it fell into disrepair.

At a live show of The Katie Price Podcast in London, she told the audience: “I absolutely have hated my mansion.

“I tell you why, nine years of hell I’ve had there. Fly-tipping, it’s haunted… and I am living with it. And whoever buys that house, good luck! I hate it.”

It was previously revealed that the mum has been told she must leave her home after being declared bankrupt.

She’s since listed a number of the furnishings on Facebook Marketplace in order to flog what she can before she leaves.

Katie was set to leave her home on May 29 after being served an eviction notice, but had been granted a reprieve until June 26 to get out of the country pile.

Katie Price’s missing millions

At the peak of her career she had an estimated fortune of £45M, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.

The cash-strapped mum-of-five was first declared bankrupt in 2019 over unpaid debts of £3.2 million.

In a podcast interview earlier this year she blamed her exes who include Peter AndreAlex Reid and Kieran Hayler and lawyers for her money woes.

She insisted that funding her exes’ lavish lifestyles with cars, watches, luxury holidays and homes left her finances in tatters.

She added: ‘I went through a breakdown, this is how mine started – lawyers and exes, that is my bankruptcy thing.

‘And obviously a bit of HMRC.

‘When I had my breakdown, if anyone has been depressed …. I don’t know if you’ve ever had depression…

‘It starts with depression and you just want to sleep all day and not talk to anyone, the phone would ring and you wouldn’t answer it.’

Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.

The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.

Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.

Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.

She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four bed mansion in Sussex.
