A councillor has shared her "terrifying" experience of having her door kicked in. One of Cardiff Council's ward members for Rhiwbina, Councillor Jayne Cowan, said she was shocked to discover her door had been kicked in "beyond repair" one evening last month.
On a social media post, she claimed the person who did it was part of a group and was wearing a balaclava. "My concern was, if they would have kicked maybe a bit harder, they literally would have been able to kick the door off," said Cllr Cowan.
"Then they could have actually got into the house and I just think that is terrifying." The councillor said she lives near a football pitch and can often hear loud noises in the evening. But this was a "different bang," she said. "It was really loud and quite intense. Then, we went outside and saw that the door had been kicked in and was beyond repair."
