Scots mum traumatised after hooded knife thug on parole crept into home and stood at end of her bed

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A terrified mum has demanded a change in the law over early release of prisoners after a thug out on parole broke into her home armed with a knife.Lauren Lynn has been left traumatised after the hooded knife fiend stood at the end of her bed after creeping into her home.

Her two year old child was asleep in the room when the intruder entered and Lauren says her four children are now living in terror.Police are hunting for the thug - who we can’t name for legal reasons - after he went on the run after targeting Lauren’s home in the middle of the night.

But Lauren has bravely spoken out over her ordeal to demand answers over why the knifeman - who she knows - had been allowed out early from a six year jail term imposed in 2021 for a serious violent offence.The 33-year-old mum said: “He was given a six-year-sentence and out in less than four.

I’m sure the person he attacked won’t be happy to hear that. Clearly he has not learned any lessons. I’m absolutely furious that someone with a violent record can be let out so early.“I believe some people shouldn’t be released early from jail terms for violent offences as they can do stupid things like this.”The Record understands police know the identity of the intruder and are currently trying to track him down.
