Family with 90-year-old lady tortured by thugs throwing fireworks at house

Fireworks incident in Armagh

Residents of one home outside Armagh are at their wits’ end as thugs continually pull up in their car and lob fireworks at the their home.

The house on the outskirts of the city has been the target of these attacks on several occasions in the lead up to Hallowe’en.

The property is also home to a lady in her 90’s and a young woman with special needs.

Ring doorbell footage shows the car pulling up and a male exit the car and run up to bang loudly on the front door before running off again.

Another person then sets off the firework in the direction of the house, which then explodes at the front door before a plume of smoke fills the porch area.

A number of others can be heard laughing while frightened dogs bark manically in the background as a result.

This particular incident happened shortly after 11pm on Tuesday evening, October 29.

A police spokesperson said: “Police take reports of anti-social behaviour seriously and we would encourage anyone with concerns to contact their local Neighbourhood Police on 101.”
