Neighbours said the attack left them speechless and called the attack random, but police say the house was potentially targeted.

“It’s dangerous a molotov cocktail could burn the whole house down if you don’t know [that it’s there],” one man said.

“I’m speechless…I never knew that would happen [here].”

The home wasn’t burnt down, but the window was smashed in.

Emergency services attended the scene and seized the remains of the molotov cocktail to conduct forensic testing.
