'I don't know what to do' | Greensboro woman says someone is lighting fireworks at her front door

Camera footage shows smoke from a fire extinguisher at her front door and fireworks going off, hitting against the door.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A woman in Greensboro says she’s scared to sleep at her home after someone lit fireworks on her front step. 

She lives off Old Oak Ridge Road. 

She told WFMY News 2 there have been multiple incidents where someone has sprayed a fire extinguisher at her front door and lit fireworks. She told us at one point, someone broke her front glass door. 

The homeowner told us, "Me, I don't sleep. My kids don't sleep, don't eat, don't do anything. I don't cook now. At night, I have my phone, and I watch the camera only. I'm scared." 

She says she’s terrified and doesn’t want to stay there with her children. 

“I don’t know what to do," she said. 

The first reported incident was on April 19th. 

Neighbors said they had no idea this was happening. One neighbor found a fire extinguisher in his yard Friday morning. We aren't sure if it's connected to the crime. 

"I just figured it fell off of a truck somewhere and fell over into the yard. It needs to be looked into," said neighbor Charles Freeman. 

Greensboro police confirm that there have been five calls for service regarding suspicious activity at the home within the last few weeks. The dates of those calls were: April 19, 20, 22, May 6, 9. 

Greensboro police said they are investigating and do not have any other reporters similar to these incidents in that neighborhood.
