Random Shooting at Waratah West Not Bikie Related

BY IAN CROUCH

Police say a random drive-by shooting at Waratah West is not linked to recent bikie violence.

The owner of a Mitsubishi Verada parked in University Drive noticed a bullet hole in the rear passenger door yesterday afternoon.

It's believed a shot was fired at the car sometime on Saturday night.

Chief Inspector Trevor Shiels says the incident doesn't appear to be related to recent bikie gang violence.

"We've established no links of that nature and it would appear to be a random, what I'd say is a foolish incident an obviously very dangerous. However, we don't have ongoing concerns for the public's safety at this stage," he said.
