Windows were smashed at the former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive's house in Edinburgh.

The windows of a Mercedes S600, parked in the driveway, were also smashed.

A statement issued to media organisations shortly after the attack on Sir Fred's house said: "We are angry that rich people, like him, are paying themselves a huge amount of money and living in luxury, while ordinary people are made unemployed, destitute and homeless.

"Bank bosses should be jailed. This is just the beginning."

The email, sent in the early hours of the morning to a number of outlets including the Press Association, came from the address bankbossesarecriminals@mail.com.

No group was named in the message and it did not explicitly claim responsibility for the attack.

There was a notable police presence at Sir Fred's home in the upmarket Morningside area of the city.

Sir Fred - dubbed "Fred the Shred" for his ruthless cost-cutting - has been at the centre of controversy over his £700,000-a-year pension. He took early retirement after RBS almost collapsed as the credit crunch gripped markets.

It is thought that Sir Fred and his family have not been living in the house since the pension row erupted.
