Police are hunting three men who stormed a home in Sydney’s southwest and threatened its residents with gunfire before fleeing overnight. 

Police are hunting three men who stormed a home in Sydney’s southwest and threatened its residents with gunfire before fleeing overnight. 

Officers were called to Lintina St in Tahmoor shortly before 10.30pm following reports gunshots had been heard.

Police were told at least three attackers armed with a gun forced their way into the home and confronted the residents. 

The attackers assaulted an 18-year-old man before leaving on foot towards Mitchell St. 

Officers also believe shots were fired at the time, however, there have been no reports of injuries as a result of the shots.

An 18-year-old man inside the home was assaulted by the attackers.

Police canvassed the crime scene on Tuesday morning.

The 18-year-old was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to Campbelltown Hospital in a stable condition. 

Two other occupants of the home — an 18-year-old woman and an infant child — were not injured. 

Catherine Warn said she heard shots and screaming and then called the police.

Neighbour Catherine Warn said she heard the shots fired and screaming before she called the police.

“I thought I heard a bang and so I opened my door to have a look without coming out. I saw two people in black run off from the house down the laneway towards the shops,” Ms Warn said.

Another neighbour across the street reported hearing bangs but thought they were firecrackers which they said are often heard around the area.

A neighbour said she saw two people running away from the house down a laneway.

Investigating officers are appealing to anyone with information to contact Camden police or Crime Stoppers

Ms Warn said she had heard arguing coming from the house on previous occasions and had concerns on the effect of the noise on her daughter.

“My daughter is on the spectrum and we’ve been trying to get her to walk for her health but she can’t leave the house.”

Investigating officers said it was too early in the investigation to determine whether the invasion was gangland related.

As inquiries continue, anyone with information into the incident is urged to contact Camden police, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
