Images show the property on John Marshall Drive was badly damaged following the incident, forcing the door to be boarded up and the wall of the porch partially caved in by the force of the collision. Debris also covers the ground with tyre tracks seen in the garden.

Bonzo, also known as Steven Peebles, suffered severe facial wounds after being attacked with a machete after a car chase in May 2017. It came after a wave of violence between the Lyons and Daniel families the previous December.
