A probe has been launched after a house was 'extensively damaged' following a gun attack in Co Galway.
The incident occurred at around 3am on Sunday, in Brackernagh, Ballinasloe, when a woman living in the house heard two loud bangs outside.
Gardai say that there was 'extensive damage' to the porch and front door of the property, while a van that was parked in the driveway was also struck by gunshots.
No one was injured in the callous incident and gardai are now appealing for witnesses.
A garda spokesman said: "Investigating Gardaí are anxious to speak to anybody who was in the vicinity of the Brackernagh, Ballinasloe between 2.30a.m. and 3a.m. this morning, Sunday 22nd December, 2019.
