JOHN LOVERIDGE fears for the safety of his family and five-month-old grandchild after his home became a target of vandalism.

Mr Loveridge, who lives at Camps du Moulin, St Martin’s, has had the front windows of his bungalow shot at twice during a two-week period, including on Christmas Day.

A lot of damage has been caused. It is believed that whoever did it used a type of air or ball bearing gun to shoot at the double-glazed windows.

‘It is very upsetting that somebody could do such a thing. I feel unsafe in my own home,’ said Mr Loveridge.

‘It is a good job that we have double-glazing because if we did not, the whole window would have shattered, which could have seriously injured my daughter or grandchild.

‘I wonder if they knew there was a five-month-old child sleeping in the front?’

The first attack happened on 11 December and the most recent was on Christmas Day.
