A YOUNG family in Newport has been terrorised in three days of attacks on their home.

Single-mum-of-three Bethan Young said her home was targeted three times over the Halloween weekend by people throwing stones at her windows.

On Sunday, a neighbour's CCTV camera caught one attacker in the act –throwing a brick through Ms Young's kitchen window in Aberthaw Drive in the Alway area of the city.

She said she had no idea who was behind the attacks, which have left her and her children – aged 12, 11, and nine – fearing for their safety.

"I'm so panicked and worried," Ms Young said. "My daughter hasn't left my side."

She has now appealed for help to identify the culprits, so that her family can find some closure.
