“Police are aware of an escalation in tension between two outlaw motorcycle gangs and believe that this incident is linked to this tension. While no-one was injured on this occasion, and the incident is not believed to be random, Police are acutely aware of the risk that this type of incident has on public safety.
To those individuals who think it is tolerable to discharge a firearm at any premises or any vehicle anywhere at anytime, I can tell you that it is not. This behaviour and incidents like this are completely unacceptable.
