Two brothers have been jailed after firing a shotgun at a building on a busy street in Barnsley.

Jamie and Daniel Galfsky, aged 37 and 35 of Silkstone View in Barnsley, have been jailed after firing a shotgun at a building on Cemetery Road in Jump on 21 January. CCTV footage showed the brothers in a vehicle that drove towards the premises before the shotgun damaged a window at approximately 9.30pm.

The vehicle, which was registered to Jamie Galfsky, was found burnt out two days later near Wombwell Woods. South Yorkshire Police issued a wanted appeal following the incident. Daniel Galfsky was arrested after being found at a pub, and Jamie Galfsky subsequently handed himself in.

Acting Detective Inspector Matt Barnes from the Armed Crime Team described the incident as a reckless act carried out with no regard for consequences. He stated that the outcome could have been very different had someone been injured, and thanked the public for their support during the investigation, including information from witnesses.
