“There are very loose links there, but nothing that would indicate he is a member or heavily involved in the gang, just that he might know some of the members,” a source told the publication.

“He is certainly not someone who was prominently on our radar by any means.

“At this stage it is way too early to say what this could be about, but it has all the hallmarks of an organised crime shooting.”

A crime scene has been established and an investigation is underway into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Shortly after 4pm, residents reported a burnt out car in the nearby suburb of Green Valley.

Only six minutes later, a second car was reported to be ablaze on Lewis St at Bonnyrigg Heights.

A burnt out car was found in a nearby suburb shortly after the shooting.

NSW Police commissioner Karen Webb told Today host Karl Stefanovic the shooting was “very brazen”.

“At the moment, it is a very open investigation,” Ms Webb said.

“We have three crime scenes that we are processing.

“It is very early days and detectives are still on the ground.”

Ms Webb confirmed that police believed the three crime scenes were linked.

Officers attached to the high-profile anti-bikie outfit Taskforce Erebus will investigate any links to organised crime.
