AN MP has vowed to continue to fight the war on hooligans despite her office coming under attack from what is believed to be an air rifle.

Staff at Dari Taylor's office, in Lanehouse Road, Thornaby, arrived at work two weeks ago to find a pellet mark in the window.

The offices are protected by bulletproof glass due to the fact Mrs Taylor has demanded action for stricter controls over the sale of air weapons.

Tracey Stott, parliamentary case worker at the office, said: "Dari believes the incident is intimidation because of her work campaigning for tighter controls. We do not believe it was a coincidence.

"Mrs Taylor has vowed to get tough on yobs and will not be scared off by these tactics."
