A peaceful Welsh village was shaken in the early hours of Monday by the sound of gunshots in Kenfig Hill. Residents of Maesglas awoke to the unsettling noise around 3:30am, only to find damage to a house on their typically quiet street. Two bullet-like holes were spotted in the front door’s window frame, sparking a rapid response from South Wales Police, who stayed at the scene for around 12 hours.
Locals are understandably rattled, with one resident describing the shock of hearing the gunshots while others, like long-time residents Pam and Richard Searle, expressed disbelief at the disruption to their usually peaceful neighbourhood. Despite the scare, thankfully, no one was hurt.
The police have launched an investigation into what exactly transpired that night. They’re calling on anyone with information to step forward, ensuring the community that they’re working diligently to uncover the details of this incident. Detective Inspector Gareth Holmes reassures residents that the full circumstances are being scrutinised to bring clarity and calm.
Stay safe, stay informed, and keep supporting each other. If you have any information that could help, reach out to South Wales Police. Let’s keep our communities secure and peaceful!
