Police investigate link between lunchtime shooting and burnt-out cars
NSW police are investigating links between three burnt-out cars and the 'abhorrent' shooting at a southwest Sydney kebab shop.
Two masked gunmen walked into M Brothers Family Restaurant on South Parade, Auburn about 1.10pm on June 16 and fired eight shots.
A 26-year-old man was shot in his shoulder and arm, a 47-year-old woman was shot twice in her torso, and a 25-year-old man was shot in the face.
The gunmen then fled the scene after failing to access an office in the restaurant in a black Audi Q7 with cloned number plates.
The three victims were treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital for further treatment.

The 26-year-old man and the woman were in a stable condition, according to police, and the 25-year-old man was in a serious condition.
Police said three burnt-out cars were found on Wigram Street in Harris Park, Hilltop Road in Merrylands and Gerald Street in Greystanes.
Crime scenes were established at all three locations and Taskforce Falcon detectives are investigating the links between the three cars and a shooting.
Speaking to Sydney radio on July 17, Premier Chris Minns said the shooting was "vicious and disgusting behaviour from complete animals".
"Their disregard for human life, for people who are innocent bystanders is appalling," Mr Minns said.
"It just churns your stomach to believe there are people who would pursue this kind of crime or have such disregard for the public."
Police urged for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Police investigate whether burnt-out cars linked to kebab shop shooting at Auburn, Sydney
Detectives are investigating whether three burnt-out vehicles found in Sydney's western suburbs are linked to the shooting of three people outside a kebab shop in broad daylight, including an alleged underworld figure. Samimjan Azari, his friend, and a woman not known to either man were shot outside the M Brothers' Cafe on Auburn Rd, Auburn about 1.15pm Monday. The three people were shot by two men wearing masks, who entered the kebab shop and fired eight times. Acting Commissioner Peter Thurtell said on Monday the masked men tried to access the back of the shop before fleeing in a black Audi. 'They left in a black Audi Q7 bearing cloned number plates,' a police statement read. Azari was shot in the arm and shoulder, while his friend, a 25-year-old man, was shot in the face. The innocent bystander – a 47-year-old woman – was shot twice in the torso. Azari and the woman are said to be in a stable condition, while the 25-year-old man is in a serious condition. NSW Police have established a crime scene at the kebab shop and the matter was referred to Taskforce Falcon under Strike Force Caljie. Three cars were later found burnt-out on Wigram St in Harris Park, Hilltop Rd in Merrylands and Gerald St in Greystanes. Crime scenes have been established at all three locations, with police investigating whether they were linked to the shooting. Police Minister Yasmin Catley said the incident was 'absolutely abhorrent', and the female shot in the incident was 'an innocent victim doing her job'. 'All she did was go to work and she has been caught up in this shocking event,' she told reporters. 'Look, I have to say, it's one thing for criminals to be shooting each other. But when innocent people get caught up in this, it is absolutely abhorrent. 'And we will not tolerate it.' Acting Commissioner Thurtell said Azari had previously reported to a local police station as part of his bail conditions following a shooting in Granville. There have been several alleged attempted hits on Azari's life. Police believe the 26-year-old was the intended target of the shooting which killed bodyguard Dawood Zakaria and injured solicitor Sylvan Singh. 'As recently as last Friday, police had spoken with the man due to concerns about his safety. 'This man has already been the target of previous shooting attempts,' she said.
