TRUCK AT TACK FAMILY 'FAILED BU COPS'

A MOTHER and her two young children have spent seven months living in hotels and a flat after a masked man demolished the front of their home with a truck.

Just days earlier, the downstairs windows of the property were smashed by a hooded axeman.

The brand new three-bedroom housing association property suffered major damage after the vehicle was reversed into it at speed and left embedded in the broken brickwork.

Firefighters had to install temporary supports to ensure it did not collapse completely.

The incident happened at the home of Caroline Keenan in Openshaw and triggered a complex police investigation. But so far, no one has been charged with any offence and Mrs Keenan claims police have let her down.

The 38-year-old mum claims that the incident was preceded a few days before by the downstairs windows of her home being smashed by a hooded man using an axe, an attack which was caught on CCTV.
