Police investigating two men who shot up a suburban Sydney home in a brazen daylight attack have said “it’s only a matter of time” until they find the pair responsible for the “abhorrent” act.

Two men in a Holden Commodore VT pulled up on Kingsland Rd, Bexley near the intersection with Stoney Creek Rd on January 13 at 6am before one fired two shots from a long arm into the home.

The bullets shattered the windows and embedded themselves in the home’s inner walls but neither of the male or female middle-aged occupants were injured.

Officers believe the attack was targeted toward a younger male who is known to police and lived at the home, though he was not inside at the time.

St George police’s acting commander Chief Inspector Chris Hill described the attack as “abhorrent”.

“It poses a significant risk to members of the public,” Insp Hill said.

“This is not acceptable, and police are now after the assistance of the general public.”

CCTV shows the two men in hoodies pulling up in a black or dark-coloured Commodore which has distinctive aftermarket silver rims, 18 or 19 inches in size.

The car is seen speeding from the area after one of the men, clearly seen carrying a long arm, discharges two shots into the home.

Members of the public had reported hearing “loud bangs” to police before officers arrived at the scene.

“It’s only a matter of time – with the assistance of the public we’ll identify you and we’ll put you before the court,” Insp Hill said.

“It is brazen and someone will either recognise the car, or the people involved.”

Anyone with information about the incident can contact St George police directly or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
