Police investigate Fraser Rise shooting

Police are investigating following an incident in Fraser Rise on Wednesday, March 20, where shots were fired at a man.

Police believe a blue Audi S3 pulled up alongside a man walking his dog in the Fraser Rise dog park on Monticiano Road about 6.43pm.

Two armed men dressed in black exited the vehicle and began firing a number of shots in the direction of a 32-year-old Fraser Rise man.

The man was able to run from the area on foot and wasn’t physically injured during the incident.

The offenders then fled the scene in the blue Audi, which was located burnt out on Viridian Drive, Hillside a short time later.

A second vehicle, a red Holden Commodore, which police believe was likely involved in the incident was also located burnt out on Parsley Street, Caroline Springs.

At this stage the exact circumstances of the shooting are yet to be determined, however investigators are treating it as a targeted attack.

A search of the surrounding area is being conducted with local police.

Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
