Fireworks attack on homeless couple 'premeditated'

An attack on a tent occupied by a homeless couple was premeditated, a councillor has said.

Gwent Police said no injures were reported after fireworks were aimed at the tent but the "consequences of the act could have been horrific".

A video of the incident, which police believe happened on Tuesday in Caerphilly town centre, has been widely shared on social media.

Councillor James Pritchard said he considered the attack a hate crime.
