A gunman dressed as a food delivery driver is now being hunted by police after a shooting at a Sydney gym on Tuesday night.
Vision of what appears to be a man on a vespa and wearing a high vis vest has been released by investigators, captured moments after the man, wearing his motorcycle helmet, walked into a gym in south west Sydney and opened fire.
About 30 people were inside the premises at the time but no one was injured.
Police are investigating if a dispute between the Hells Angels and Mongol bikie gangs is behind the shooting which they say was targeted.
“There are rumours there is some tension between a couple of members of opposing Outlaw motorcycle gangs which could be involved, ‘’ said a police source.
“But at this stage it’s one line of investigation along with others that are being looked at,’’ he said.
About 7.45pm police were called to reports of shots fired into a business on Wentworth Avenue, Wentworthville.
Officers attached to Parramatta City Police Area Command established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
A short time later a vespa believed to have been used in the shooting was found well alight in nearby Fulton Avenue.
As inquiries continue, police are appealing to anyone who may have seen a white motorcycle, believed to be a white Vespa, being ridden by a man wearing a yellow high visibility-hoodie and a red helmet, in the vicinity of Wentworth Avenue, Wentworthville.
In addition, police are also appealing to anyone who may have seen a silver sedan seen in the vicinity of the motorcycle fire on Fulton Avenue, Wentworthville.
Anyone with information, CCTV vision or dashcam footage in relation to the incident is urged to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.-
