Why are they doing this to us? POLICE are asking for help to trace whoever is behind a 15-year campaign to terrorise an elderly Thornbury couple. Officers say the couple, who have not been named but live on Primrose Drive, have had their house, car and garden repeatedly attacked and have been sent threatening letters, including one which issued the threat: "We have a big sharp knife
waiting for you when it goes dark." The couple say they have no idea who is targeting them, or why. Now police are calling on the public to help catch whoever is behind the attacks, by reporting anything they think might be suspicious. Turn to page 3
