Recently, the police have shared a CCTV footage which captured a terrifying incident that took place earlier this year in Jacana. In the video, a car can be seen pulling up and firing a bullet, causing serious injury to another person. The authorities have already charged two men for attempted murder in connection with the shooting, but they suspect that there may be more individuals involved.
The detectives from Taskforce Lunar are leading the investigation into the shooting and they have reason to believe that it may be linked to two major organised crime syndicates that are involved in the illegal trade of tobacco. This has been a growing concern for the police and they are determined to bring those responsible to justice.
According to the detectives, the victim was driving his dark-coloured Mercedes wagon from the Wyndham area towards Broadmeadows when he stopped at a red light at the intersection of the Western Ring Road and Pascoe Vale Road around 12pm on May 7. It was during this time that a grey Ford Falcon with false registration plates pulled up beside him and a shot was fired. The investigators have also identified a white Holden Commodore that may be connected to the incident.
In the CCTV footage, the Commodore can be seen pulling out and turning left in front of the Falcon just before the shot was fired. The victim was rushed to the hospital by his family members and the police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information about the two cars involved to come forward. The two men who have been arrested in relation to the shooting are a 30-year-old and a 26-year-old from Truganina. They have been charged with attempted murder, intentionally causing serious injury, and reckless conduct endangering life.
The police believe that this was a targeted shooting and it was a result of a dispute over allegiances related to the two organised crime syndicates involved in the illegal tobacco trade. Detective Inspector Graham Banks has stated that while they have made progress in the case, they believe that there are others who were involved in both the execution and planning of the attack. He also expressed concern over the fact that the incident took place in broad daylight and an innocent bystander could have been seriously injured or even killed.
