A family including two young children were left terrified after a brick was thrown through their front window on Sunday seemingly by vandals attempting to target a different property.
Annie East was sat in the front room of her home in Roman Bank at 9.15pm, when the brick smashed through the front window and also broke the TV.
The sound of breaking glass woke her two children Lily Mae (7) and Daniel (18 months) who were asleep upstairs.
A next door neighbour’s CCTV footage captured the incident and shows two people pull up in a blue car and threw two objects towards the row of homes.
Audio captured on the footage appears to hear one of the perpetrators saying “I think we’ve got the wrong window”.
Annie said: “I was just sat there eating Pringles when the brick came through, sending glass from there and the TV everywhere.
“It was terrifying. I just screamed.
“I’d heard a commotion outside before, but I didn’t think anything of it as that’s just normal for this area. Then I saw this brick come flying towards the window.”
Annie’s partner Liam Mcconnell has his own business Rusty Relics which specialises in steam engines.
He was on the way back from working at the St Albans Steam Fair this weekend when Annie rang him in distress.
“I just got back as quickly as I could,” he said. “Thankfully the kids were in bed otherwise they would have been sat in the centre of the living room floor which was covered in glass.”
Liam put the CCTV footage from a neighbour’s house on Facebook in an attempt to catch those responsible. At the time of writing it had over 150 shares.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: “Anyone with information should call 101, quoting Incident 436 of June 2.”
