involved is of limited intelligence makes it almost impossible to take the
matter further. I feel so sad for her :-(

Whether of limited intelligence or not, the fact is the person has done something wrong and needs to be faced with the consequence of his/her action. You say your daughter knows who it is which indicates that the person is used to being at the allotments so the Committee needs to be formally informed. It will then be up to them what action to take.

Someone needs to find out what triggered this action. Possibly some misunderstood action or comment which were completely inoffensive.

I do hope something gets sorted out. Nothing is worse than having a beastly and apparently malicious event hanging over one's head.
