A father of three has criticised Thames Valley Police for failing to take action against yobs who have vandalised his home and made hoax telephone calls.

John O'Neill, 54, of Colwell Road, Berinsfield, had a garden fence knocked down and a window smashed on Saturday.

Mr O'Neill says he knows who the culprits are, but claims police have taken no action against them.

He also says no action has been taken against yobs who made hoax telephone calls in August, pretending to be police officers.

Mr O'Neill, who lives with his wife Pamela, 53, and sons Shaun, 13, Danny, 12, and Aidan, nine, said: "We had a trace put on the telephone line at the police's request towards the end of August.

"We have got two telephone numbers but nothing has been done.

"We have had a number of further incidents.

"My garden fence was trashed over the weekend, then a brick was thrown at our main lounge window.

"What if someone had been cut by the broken glass or injured by the brick?

"Teenagers have been targeting the property and seem to have been stepping up their assault against us.

"A couple of weeks ago there were a group of youths giving me grief, I was verbally threatened.

"I dialled 999 because there were about 15 teenagers outside and the police response was to come out 45 minutes later.

"We know who these youths are but nothing has been done about them."

Police spokesman Kate Smith said: "We take this kind of incident very seriously and are investigating the damage that has been reported.

"We have to prioritise our calls and attended as soon as we were able."
