Intruders wearing Halloween masks hit a woman on the head with a gun and broke a man’s shoulder with a hammer during separate raids in Co Down, the High Court heard today.
Prosecutors said a machete was also brandished at one of the two Bangor addresses targeted in less than a week.
Armed response police officers subsequently located an alleged gang member hiding in the attic of a property where a consignment of cocaine and £13,000 in cash was seized, a judge was told.
