The wires were right next to a gas meter, causing neighbours to feel in panic
A woman described as a neighbour from hell has been jailed after trying to set fire to an electrical box on the side of a man's house, next to his gas meter. Tracey Smith, 52, appeared from her property with a lighter in hand and neighbours heard banging and shouting.
"I shouted at her to stop and she said something about the man upstairs 'not shutting up'. I told her I didn't care, you don't do that, but she continued." "The police came 20 minutes later and we were lucky that the wind had blown the fire out but damage was still done to the box. If she had been successful, the gas box next to it could have caught fire and we could have all been blown up.
