A cluster of bullet-holes could be clearly seen in a steel security door at the brick townhouse.

A car parked on the street was then set alight, the ferocity of the blaze destroying it within minutes and damaging another vehicle nearby.

It is expected that bullets fired into the house will be ballistically examined to determine whether the gun used to fire them is linked to other crimes.
