A MOTHER has spoken of a tirade of terror against her family home after months of attacks.

The sound of shattering glass has haunted Lisa Patrick since November, when she awoke to the first of five incidents on her Blackbird Leys council house.

She said she's had bricks and lumps of concrete thrown through her front room window at their home in Briar Way.

The 42-year-old, who lives with teenage son Lewis and her 50-year-old fiancée Andy Lindo, said: "It's just caused so much damage. They have usually happened at about midnight but they are getting earlier and more serious, it's getting to the point where it's life-threatening.

"We are constantly living on edge.

"Lewis is absolutely petrified."

She brushed off the first attack on the early hours of November 1 as an extreme Halloween prank, but since then a further four - the latest being on June 6 - have left her in despair.

Thames Valley Police published the appeal yesterday and officers are investigating.

Ms Patrick fears after the last attack, in which concrete was propelled through her spare room window, that her 14-year-old son Lewis could be in danger.

She added: "Throwing bricks is childish. We are hoping in going public this will stop it. This could go on indefinitely."

The mother-of-two, who works at Marks and Spencer, said in ten years she had never experienced crime on the estate.

She now refuses to leave Lewis alone at night because of fears "he could be hit", and has sent him to stay for weeks at a time at his grandmother's house to escape danger.

Ms Patrick said Oxford City Council had been "absolutely brilliant" in sending emergency teams to board up and replace windows, but that stress has marred excitement in the run-up to her wedding to BMW employee Mr Lindo next month.

Thames Valley Police yesterday appealed for information about the person responsible for the most recent incident on July 6 at about 10.15pm. He's described as a white six-foot tall man.

Investigating officer PC Neil Pugh, based at Cowley Police Station, said the series of attacks were "extremely distressing for the victims" and urged anyone with information to call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111.

Investigating officer, PC Neil Pugh, based at Cowley police station, said: “This series of incidents has been extremely distressing for the victims, so I am appealing for anyone who might have any information about these crimes, or who has witnessed anything that they think could be connected, to get in touch with us by calling the non-emergency number 101.”
