State Crime Command's Criminal Groups Squad are investigating after shots were allegedly fired at a vehicle in Sydney's south-west last year.
About 3pm on Wednesday 28 December 2022, officers attached to Bankstown Police Area Command were called to Welch Avenue in Greenacre after police received several reports gun shots had been heard in the area.
On arrival, officers located damage consistent with shots being fired toward a vehicle, as well as empty bullet casings and damage to a fence.
A crime scene was established, before officers attached to State Crime Command's Criminal Groups Squad commenced an investigation under Strike Force Terrol.
Initial inquiries by strike force detectives suggest three shots were fired at a black Mazda 3 – whose occupants included a 4-month-old baby – during an alleged illegal transaction.
The armed man is believed to have fled the scene in a black Toyota Camry, before getting into a grey Hyundai Veloster on Highview Street toward Bankstown.
Police believe there were two females and four males involved in the transaction, who could have links to Organised Criminal Networks (OCN).
As inquiries continue, police have released CCTV of the alleged incident, as well as CCTV of a number of people allegedly fleeing the scene.
Police are now appealing for anyone who may have information or dashcam vision that could assist investigators to come forward.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
