Police believe a shooting in broad daylight in western Sydney this afternoon was a “targeted attack” linked to organised crime.
Shots were reportedly fired from a BMW into a Suzuki Swift by two males in balaclavas on Victor Street in Greystanes about 12pm today.
Shortly afterwards, the BMW was found set alight on Targo Road, Toongabbie.
Superintendent Simon Glasser told media this afternoon that police believe the male and female in the Suzuki Swift were residents of the home where the car was parked.
“The occupants of the location in Greystanes are known to police, so we believe this is a targeted attack,” he said.
Police arrived at the scene, but both cars had left.
Investigations are under way and members of the public are urged to avoid the area.
About 20 minutes later, Fire and Rescue NSW were called to a car fire next to a block of units on Targo Road in Girraween.
“When firefighters arrived, the car was well alight,” FRNSW Adam Dewberry said.
The Suzuki Swift was later found with damage on Whalan Road in Greystanes.
“There’s no information on how the fire started either.”
There were no reported injuries following the incident.
The male who was in the Suzuki Swift is currently assisting police in the investigation.
Police have established crime scenes at all three locations.
