A MOTHER and her three children were lucky not to been injured after an arsonist pushed a burning firework through their letterbox last night.
They were awakened by the noise and ran downstairs to find the burning candle in the smoke-filled hallway of their home in Darley Terrace, Halliwell.
Arsonists also threw a brick and two bangers through a window in Clay Street, Eagley, during the night. The homeowner, a man in his 20s, was asleep upstairs and awoke to find the fireworks on his living room floor.
Youths also smashed a car window in Owlwood Drive, Little Hulton, and placed a firework on the back seat.
