Hooray! Some Muslim gunmen arrested at long last

A primary school's wall was used for target practice hours before a series of drive-by shootings across four suburbs, police have revealed. Officers from Task Force Gain and the State Protection Group closed Canterbury Road at Punchbowl yesterday for more than an hour during the morning peak and raided a house next to Punchbowl Public School. They arrested Mahmoud Ahmad, 23, of Punchbowl, and a 17-year-old youth and seized some ammunition and an air rifle.


Scientific police spent several hours examining a fence bordering the school, from which it was alleged shots were fired into a classroom wall on the night of Sunday, September 11, last year. Yesterday's raid followed a five-month investigation of shootings on September 11 between 9pm and 10.30pm in inner-western and south-western suburbs and for which no one has been charged.


At one of those shootings a 25-year-old man was wounded in Canterbury Road, Campsie, by men who stole his car. The wounded man's home in Lawler Street, Panania, where he lived with his parents, was later hit by a dozen rounds fired from a moving car. Police believe the same car was used in drive-by shootings at a town house in Webb Street, Croydon, and at a home in Moxon Road, Punchbowl. Police alleged at the time that the gunmen also threatened men walking in Augusta Street, Condell Park, earlier that night. No one else was injured in the shootings.


The two males arrested in yesterday's raid were charged with firearms offences at Bankstown police station after being questioned about the ammunition and air rifle found at the premises. There is no evidence linking the two with the drive-by shootings. Ahmad was refused bail when he appeared in Burwood Local Court and will reappear today.
