BEDRIDDEN Bev Poulton (67) has been terrorised in her Mimosa Road, Manaba home for months by criminals in what seems to be a targeted campaign.
The latest incident last Friday morning was the sixth time the pensioner had been subjected to the trauma of a break-in.

Her husband Rupert, had just left and CCTV footage from a camera inside the house shows a man appearing at the sliding door.
The Herald viewed the footage, which slowed the man checking several times that the woman was alone.
Once satisfied, the man entered the home through the open garage door.
“He took cash, my tablet and cellphones and asked if I had a laptop,” said Mrs Poulton.
“He then ripped the keys and my panic button from around my neck. When I asked him to return my keys in the name of Jesus, he placed them on the counter, well out of my reach. He searched the house, but didn’t threaten me at all.”
In previous robberies, Mrs Poulton had lost cellphones and cash and has had to repair the glass sliding door twice.
“How they get into the property still remains a mystery as the complex is secured with electric fencing. We have an alarm and have also now installed more CCTV cameras so hopefully in future I can see any intruder before he gets into my house,” she said.
Police spokesman, Captain Gerald Mfeka, said Margate detectives are investigating.
No arrests have yet been made.
