POLICE in Gloucester are appealing for information after a woman's house in the city was attacked in the early hours of Sunday, May 18.

The resident was in bed when unknown offenders sprayed offensive graffiti on the front of the house and threw several petrol bombs at the back of the property on Ashgrove Avenue between 2.15am and 2.30am.

The offenders are believed to have been riding bikes and wearing dark headgear.

While damage was caused, fortunately no one was injured.
