At least two shots were fired at an Altona North home in a drive-by shooting last Wednesday morning.
Police say the shooter, believed to have been on a motorbike, fired two shots at a house in Angus Avenue about 3am.
One bullet took out the rear window of a vehicle parked in the driveway. The second shattered a small window in the garage door.
Detective Senior Constable Matt Lewis, of the Hobsons Bay crime investigation unit, said three men were home at the time of the shooting but
no one was injured.
He said the shooting was not believed to be linked to the Chaouk and Haddara families, whose members have been connected to previous shootings nearby.
“There’s nothing to suggest that there’s links to any of the Lebanese organised families,” Senior Constable Lewis said. “At 3am, an unknown offender believed to be on a motorbike has discharged two shots into a house on Angus Avenue in Altona North.
“We’re appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything to give us a call. We’re trying to determine the reasoning behind it at this stage.”
He said the three men living at the address were friends.
Ballistics experts removed the car as evidence.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
