Kelly-Marie Docherty, 39, was left cowering with her partner, Mark Flemming, and two of their children after their house in Whitburn was targeted
A young family has been left “absolutely terrified” after a gang of thugs launched fireworks at their home in West Lothian .
Shocking footage captured by the family’s ring doorbell shows fireworks being launched at the property on the village’s Whitdale Place from a park across the road. In the video, multiple fireworks are let off seconds apart before one of the devices crashes into the upstairs area property - causing sparks to erupt over the couple’s driveway.
Recounting the terrifying ordeal, Kelly-Marie told the Record: “It was terrifying. The bangs were extremely loud so I instantly knew that they were close to the house. The terrifying incident, which lasted around ten minutes, was only brought to an end when the yobs were chased away by Kelly-Marie’s neighbour.
It is the second firework-related incident to take place in the area within just a matter of days after the explosives were launched from a moving car in Livingston on Sunday. Video footage shows locals ducking for cover after pyros were shot from the vehicle on Kenilworth Rise.
