Teenager Shot and Found in Abandoned Car in Sydney

Police say the attack was targeted and have launched a forensic probe after seizing a burnt Toyota Hilux linked to the scene.

Overview

  • A late‑teenage male was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in the passenger seat of an abandoned black station wagon on Mimosa Road in Greenacre and taken to hospital in stable condition after on‑scene treatment.
  • Multiple ambulance crews, including aerial support, treated the victim at the scene before he was transferred to hospital.
  • Police believe the shooting was a deliberate, targeted attack and say the victim was driven to the Greenacre location from a nearby street before the driver and any other occupants left the vehicle.
  • Hours after the shooting, officers located and seized a burnt‑out Toyota Hilux in Granville that investigators say is strongly linked to the incident and will be examined by forensic teams.
  • The assailants remain at large and police inquiries continue, with investigators expected to pursue forensic evidence, local CCTV and witness accounts to identify and locate those involved.
