<\/p>\nThis is the shocking moment a gang ram-raids a family home by reversing a buggy into the garage doors – but left empty handed moments later after being scared off by their barking dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neil Lewis, 43, was home with his wife and two-year-old daughter when the burglars tried to smash into their home in Ponypool, South Wales, at 2.30am.<\/p>\n
Chilling CCTV showed three hooded men deliberately reverse a buggy into the garage doors in a brazen attempt to smash their way in.<\/p>\n
But the trio left empty-handed after the din from the crash woke the family – and barking of their pet dog caused them to flee.<\/p>\n
Neil, of Abersychan, Pontypool, said the family was sound asleep at the time when they were shaken awake.<\/p>\n

This is the shocking moment a gang ram-raids a family home by reversing a buggy into the garage doors – but left empty handed moments later after being scared off by their barking dog<\/p>\n
He said: ‘They haven’t done it subtly. They’ve used an unusual thing to ram the door and made a hell of a noise.<\/p>\n
‘It’s not something you would ever expect to happen to you, but three people on an agricultural buggy ram-raided my garage.<\/p>\n
‘They smashed the door down after two o’clock in the morning. It woke me up, and the dog, who scared them off. Then they drove off.’<\/p>\n
Footage showed the raiders carefully manoeuvre the buggy between two parked cars on the family’s driveway before smashing into the garage wall.<\/p>\n
The three jumped from the buggy to enter the garage but seconds later hopped back in to make their getaway.<\/p>\n
Mr Lewis said: ‘Everyone needs to be aware that there are people out there who will do whatever they can to get into someone’s house.’<\/p>\n
