A lump of concrete was thrown through a pensioner’s bedroom window during a recent spate of anti-social behaviour in Co Armagh, police have said.
The PSNI’s Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon command posted a picture of the missile on their Facebook page on Monday evening following weekend disturbances in the Magheralin area.
Police said a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour were leaving elderly residents in fear.
“Imagine your 90 year old granny is home alone,” began the post.
“A large gathering of youths are terrorising your local community. And one decides to throw this (pictured) lump of concrete through her window, breaking both panes of glass, landing on the bed along with a large amount of shattered glass.
“This was sadly just one incident of many that occurred in Magheralin on Saturday night. We are urging not only the public, but even the people involved to realise how shocking these actions are.
“There is no place for anti-social Behaviour anywhere. The fear the elderly residents are experiencing as a result of these criminal actions is so upsetting to see.
“Please, we urge anyone with any information as to whom may have conducted these terrible acts to contact Police. Please call 101 quoting serial 1093-110125 or make an anonymous call to Crimestoppers NI on 0800555111.”
