BIG Brother will keeping a close eye on a community that has been rocked by two petrol bomb attacks.

The mobile CCTV unit was installed in Broad Street following calls from residents, after a second man-made firebomb was thrown through the window of a house on February 1.

Abdul Rahim, his wife and two daughters were woken by the sound of their living room window being smashed, followed by the explosion.

The terrified family were first targeted by a petrol bombing on January 13.

Police have said they are treating the two cases as linked.

The camera has been keeping a watchful eye over Broad Street for the last two weeks.

Richard Palusinski, the head of the Community Safety Partnership, said: "Due to the threat posed by fire-bombing in this area of Broad Street, part of the CSP's responsibility is to capture images of the perpetrators using CCTV.

"We want to do everything we can to ensure people feel safe in their own homes and on the streets of Swindon, and will take specific action to assist in this."

Azim Khan, from the Thamesdown Islamic Association, said: "There is a new camera at the end of the street.

"I think everyone will feel a bit safer and reassured that this can't happen for a third time.

"The police are still investigating the attacks. They don't know if there was a racial motive to the attacks."

In the wake of the arson several meetings have been held between police, community leaders and politicians.

Coun Derique Montaut (Lab, Central) was one of those present. He said: "There are a range of concerns in the community.

"Of course people are frightened but we are trying to assure them that we are working with police and community leaders to do as much as possible to safeguard their security."

Despite the repeat attacks, Mr Rahim has vowed not to let the bombers get the better of him and has promised to return home as soon as possible.

The family home is still boarded up while police and the insurance company complete their investigation.

The charred remains of the home-made bomb have been examined by explosives experts.

Police are appealing for anyone who thinks they know who is responsible for the attack to contact Det Supt Stephen Fulcher on 0845 408 7000.
