Man jailed for masked-gang attack in Bradford

    A man has been jailed after a masked gang attacked a woman’s home with metal bars in Bradford.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how, on 27 June of last year, a gang wearing balaclava masks smashed the windows of a house on Duchy Drive in Heaton, before a black 4x4 was deliberately rammed into a Chrysler and a Ford Focus parked outside.

    They then proceeded to attack the house.

    The court was told that 24-year-old Waqas Hussain, who had been a passenger in the black 4x4, smashed the windows of a Ford Focus with an iron bar.

    Hussain was one of the few gang members not wearing a mask and blood later found on the damaged vehicle linked him to the incident.

    He was jailed for 13 months.
