00:00 At about 10.55pm last Wednesday evening, police were notified of an incident which occurred
00:05 in Trade Circuit in Warhope where a number of shots were fired.
00:09 Police attended that location and discovered some damage to a building and a vehicle parked
00:13 outside the building.
00:15 Three people were inside the premises at the time and fortunately no one was injured.
00:19 A short time later, police were notified of a second incident where shots were fired at
00:24 a premises in High Street in Warhope.
00:27 Two people were present at the time and again fortunately no one was injured.
00:32 Crime scenes were established at both locations and Strike Force Shelshire was commenced to
00:37 investigate the incidents.
00:39 Our investigators have established a link between the incidents and are appealing for
00:43 information from members of the public who may be able to assist.
00:46 We're releasing today some footage, some CCTV footage which was obtained from Trade Circuit
00:53 in Warhope.
00:54 It shows a light coloured sedan and a male in Trade Circuit at the time of the incident.
01:02 And we believe that that male, after he'd fired the shot, stepped into the vehicle.
01:08 At the time there was probably two and possibly a third person in the vehicle with him.
01:14 We're appealing to the public that may have been in the area, may have dash cam footage,
01:18 may have information around these shootings to contact either the detectives at Port Macquarie,
01:24 the police at Warhope or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
01:31 Any acts of violence, public place violence, whether it's in a small community such as
01:36 Warhope or a larger community is very concerning and we'll investigate it with all the resources
01:41 we have.
01:42 The people at both locations are known to each other so we're working on that and have
01:48 established a link between those locations.
