An elderly wheelchair bound woman's garden has been attacked by vandals for the second time in three days.
Zubeda Hussein, 76, has been left heartbroken after her front garden in Northfields, Leicester, was trashed in broad daylight last Thursday. This attack came just days after the garden was destroyed on Monday afternoon.
Mrs Hussien's daughter Mumtaz Suleman has told how her mother has been left devastated after the two attacks.
Ms Suleman, 56, said: "Mum was heartbroken by the first time the garden was attacked. Now it has happened again she is very, very upset about it all."
Last Monday the garden was targeted between 10.30am and 12.30pm. A wooden wishing well was broken, plastic tulips were damaged and uprooted and ornamental lamps smashed.
Ms Suleman, a receptionist at Leicester General Hospital, said she and friend had cleaned the garden up and had the wishing well fixed last Wednesday.
The next day the garden was trashed again, this time between 4 and 5pm on Thursday.
She said: "I can't believe why anyone would do this to us. Once is bad enough but twice is cruel beyond belief. My mum is thinking someone has something against us.
"Whoever has carried out these despicable acts of vandalism and criminal damage has done it in broad daylight. We live in a cul-de-sac so whoever did this has gone out of their way to do it. It will take a long time to save the money to replace the ornaments."
Ms Suleman said the garden was a haven for her mother who suffers ill-health and is paralysed down her right side after a stroke four years ago.
A Leicestershire police spokeswoman said they were investigating both incidents.
She said: "We are aware of two incidents of vandalism in a garden in Northfields. We are looking into the matter."
