Bullets hit microwave and wall in shooting targeting young child, court hears
Callum Pearson, Kian Darkes, Daniel Clarke and Kyle Long are all on trial at Cardiff Crown Court
Bullets were found lodged inside a wall and microwave after a gang targeting a young child fired shots at the wrong home, a court has heard.
A woman and her son were asleep inside the house in Pyle, Bridgend, during the shooting in the early hours of 22 September 2025, but neither were injured.
A jury at Cardiff Crown Court were shown footage of two men firing a 9mm pistol at the property before fleeing on an electric motorbike.
The court heard the incident was carried out in retaliation against alleged drug dealer Daniel O'Callaghan, after the gang believed he had taken drugs worth thousands of pounds from a hiding place in Guernsey.
On Thursday the jury were told the gang dealt drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on the Channel Islands and across south Wales.
The court previously heard police discovered a photograph of a child on a mobile phone belonging to one of the men standing trial, along with text messages between them both discussing targeting the youngster.
Kian Darkes and Daniel Clarke, both 21, and from the Bridgend area, admit having a firearm and ammunition in a public place but deny possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.
