Police are investigating the crime.

Helen said: "I'm angry about what's happened.

"I initially felt frightened - I thought it was just my home they'd targeted - but I've been told two other houses in the area were also vandalsied.

"I've lived here for 21 years and nothing like this has happened before.

"Thankfully nobody was hurt but I want to see those responsible caught and brought to justice."
