Family home 'mistaken for dealer's house' smashed up in 3am attack

A family who believed its home was mistakenly targeted by a gang looking for a drug dealer has revealed its shock and terror after the windows and door were smashed in. Zoe McCormack, her partner and three children were all asleep when Zoe woke up to the sound of banging and shouting just after 3am.

The attack on the Stockton-on-Tees home left the front door of the Wren Street home in Oxbridge torn from its hinges and its windows smashed. After Zoe alerted her partner Sam Goulding on Tuesday (August 30) morning, he went to look out of their bedroom window.

Outside he reported that he saw a group of men and two cars outside the property. He said one of the men was holding a spade which he allegedly pointed at the couple from the street below, reports TeessideLive.
