“GET outside, I’m going to kill you.”

That was the chilling threat made by a member of a “family from hell” accused of terrorising their neighbours since moving into a new home.

The frightening warning is just one of several reports understood to have been made to police since the troublesome family moved to a Hampshire estate after being booted out of their old home for countless acts of antisocial behaviour.

Residents living close to the family – including many who have lived there for decades – say they have been left living in fear and are desperate to move.

The Daily Echo understands that police have received about 15 complaints from people living in the neighbourhood since the beginning of February.

They centre on one family – who the Daily Echo is banned from identifying because of a court order protecting them – and are thought to include reports of condoms and eggs being thrown into neighbouring back gardens.

Some residents have even resorted to installing their own CCTV cameras to try to catch the troublemakers in the act.

Today police confirmed that they have stepped up patrols in the area and urged anyone who feels that they have been a victim of antisocial behaviour to report it. They also revealed that they are gathering evidence following each of the calls, with a view to bringing those responsible to justice.

The Daily Echo revealed yesterday how neighbours of the family – who are now renting a private home – say they feel “betrayed” because their pleas for help are falling on deaf ears.

The family of ten – eight children and their two parents – have subjected them to countless acts of vandalism and abuse, they claim.

One neighbour said: “The problem has only been moved to our community. We say move them in next door to a police station.”

It was in December last year when the Daily Echo reported how the family were evicted from their home in Hedge End by police.

Officers spent years gathering enough evidence to evict them using section 11 of the Anti Social Behaviour Act of 2003 and bringing a case that is estimated to have cost Hampshire taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds.

A Hampshire police spokesman said: “We are currently gathering evidence surrounding the allegations that have been made, with a view to identifying those responsible.

We are reliant on the public in assisting us to do that.

“However there are legal restraints which prevent us from dealing more proactively with those alleged to be involved in some of the incidents reported to us.

“We take all reports of antisocial behaviour extremely seriously and would continue to encourage residents to report such matters to us. If you don’t want to do that for fear of being identified then there is also the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.”

Anyone with information should contact their local safer neighbourhood team or call 101.
