A NEW mum was left terrified after a brick smashed her living room window in the early hours of the morning.

Rebecca Jarman, 23, was feeding four-week-old Lucy at 5.30am last Monday when a brick smashed the glass of their home in Brunswick Street, Thurnscoe.

She doesn’t know who threw it but said she heard the sound of a loud car exhaust outside.

She said: “My partner and I moved from Wombwell to Thurnscoe just ten weeks ago because we needed a bigger house for when the baby was born.

“I had just gone into the living room when the window came through. I went up and got my partner and was that shocked I didn’t even look who had thrown it. I called 999 but they said it wasn’t an emergency and wouldn’t come out.

“Obviously it would not have been so bad if it was just me and my partner in but if the glass or brick had hit the baby there would have been much bigger consequences.

“Because it was a brick the police said they couldn’t get any DNA off it. They said just to throw it and the glass away.

“My partner parks his car on the road so I think if it was targeted at us they would have gone for that instead.

“When I’m in the house on my own I’m on edge about it. And the baby’s Moses basket is normally right under that window where it smashed.”

Rebecca said the brick was found outside the property after it bounced back from smashing the double-glazedd window.

She has now installed some CCTV for added security and the couple’s landlord has boarded the window up.

A South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: “At around 5.45am on Monday 19 March it was reported a brick had been thrown at the window of a property on Brunswick Street, Thurnscoe.

“Damage was caused to the window in the incident.

“Anyone with information is asked to report it via 101 quoting incident number 88 of March 19.”
