Victoria Police Hunt for Tarneit Shooting, Burglary Leads

Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad are appealing for information following an aggravated burglary in Tarneit earlier this month where shots were fired.

It's believed two men forced their way into a residential property on Nottingham Crescent about 10.30pm on Saturday, 17 February.

The pair then confronted one of the residents, a 33-year-year-old man, and a number of shots were fired.

The men then left the address by unknown means.
