Yobs terrorise family by hurling rocks and paint at their home three times in a fortnight
YOBS have terrorised a family by hurling rocks and paint at their home three times in a fortnight.
Furious resident Liam Gomersall-Gleave, 28, who lives with his aunt and uncle in Scholes in West Yorkshire, has posted footage of each attack on Facebook.
The thugs have chucked rocks at their windows and hurled red paint at their car.
Liam claimed the police “don’t seem to be bothered” and said they “should be doing more” to catch the yobs, who he believes are aged between 14 and 17.
The 28-year-old said the thugs had inflicted “loads of stress” on the family.
He said: “We have no clue why it keeps happening. I wish we did….my auntie and uncle are in their late forties and have no enemies at all. The police are treating it as targeted.
“I managed to see one of them and they look about 14 or around that. They have definitely been paid to do it…little kids don’t tend to cause damage without someone paying them or something.
“There has been loads of stress caused because of this. They have damaged the car, the roof and front bumper.
“The house windows have been replaced multiple times. The amount we have spent is into the thousands. The dogs are on edge as well.”
The first incident happened on October 15, the second on October 17 and the most recent on Friday.
