A WOMAN was left “extremely shocked” after someone smashed the windows of her caravan as she slept inside.

“This callous act has left the victim extremely shocked. It is the third incident of criminal damage in three months she has been subjected to and enquiries are ongoing to find those responsible.

“I am asking anyone who witnessed the incident, or may have information about those responsible, to contact police in confidence.”
