Rocket fired through house window

Police are investigating the attack on a house in Wonford

A firework rocket has been fired through the window of a family's home in Devon.

No-one is thought to have been injured in the attack last Friday in Wonford, Exeter, but police have stepped up patrols.

A phone box was badly damaged when fireworks were set off inside in Plymouth on Tuesday.

Three 18-year-old men have been arrested over the phone box attack and are being questioned.

In the incident last Friday, neighbours heard a loud bang and a crash as the rocket smashed the window of the house.

'Incredibly dangerous'

Lucy Tremlett, who lives next door, told BBC News: "We were sitting on the sofa when we heard this loud bang and smash.

"We looked outside and all we saw was smoke."

She said it was "immature and irresponsible" behaviour.

"Fireworks are meant to be for fun, not so that people are worrying about something coming through their window."

The victims of the incident declined to speak.

Devon and Cornwall Police are putting on extra patrols in both counties on Wednesday and Thursday for Bonfire Night.

Sgt Matt Lazenby, who is investigating the attack, said: "It's incredibly dangerous and we will treat any such incidents very seriously.

"We appreciate that fireworks are fun, but they can also cause long-term harm."
