Firework thrown through house window

A FIREWORK was thrown through the window of a house in Winsford on Saturday night.

The firework was thrown into a house in Arkwright Road but no one was injured and only limited damage was caused.

However residents are being warned to nail down their fence panels after a spate of thefts.

Police in Winsford trawled the streets dismantling would-be bonfires in the run up to November 5, but this was quickly followed by calls to a number of missing fence panels.

Sgt Ian Wood of Winsford NPU said: “We did a clear-up project prior to Bonfire Night but it may have resulted in a quantity of fence panels being removed and put on bonfires to make up the difference.

“So next year we might have to look at giving out advice to make sure fence panels are secured.

“However, we only had a few calls about nuisance bonfires and the rain certainly helped keep things at bay.”
