MUM Kerryanne Hill says she is desperate to leave her home in Pinehurst after being the victim of 10 burglaries in the last two years.

Kerryanne, 22, says that property worth a total of £2,000 has been stolen and she is not insured.

Now she is asking Swindon Borough Council to find her a new home where she can be more secure.

Kerryanne, who lives with her two children, Joshua aged five and Leon, just seven months, and partner Ryan Croke, said: "I have just had enough and am really worried for my two young children."

Kerryanne says burglars who have broken into her home at Magnolia Court have taken four play stations, several computer games, two video players, a television set and even a washing machine which disappeared while she was out visiting her mother's house. Other property and sums of money have also been stolen.

Most of the break-ins happened during 1999 and at the beginning of this year.

But just ten days ago while the family were out, an intruder smashed a window but was disturbed before he was able to steal anything.

She said: "It's started again and I have just had enough. I have called the police but they don't seem to be able to do anything to help.

"I can't take any more. Joshua has become really scared and started wetting the bed. It is horrible because it is so often his things that are stolen. I don't want my children to grow up thinking this is normal behaviour. The whole thing has become a complete nightmare."

Swindon Council spokeswoman Helen Barnes confirmed that Kerryanne had handed in an application to be rehoused but this had been suspended.

"If she still wishes to move she can write to the housing department and ask for the suspension to be lifted," she said.

Swindon police spokeswoman Alvina Kumar confirmed that they had received reports about a number of incidents at the house and inquiries had been made into them.
