Community ‘terrorised’ as concrete lump thrown through window of 90-year-old woman

Police are appealing for information after a lump of concrete was thrown through the window of an elderly county Armagh woman.

Police say the 90-year-old woman – who lives alone in Magheralin – was just one victim in a recent spate of anti-social behaviour that is “terrorising” the local community.

A police spokesperson said: “Imagine your 90 year old granny is home alone.

“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.”
