[GTR-N1]

A car owner went to rendezvous last night with a person who enquired about buying his vehicle.

The owner took a mate along as a precaution.

On arriving at a Bunnings Car Park at Casula, the pair were then confronted by a group of men who ordered them to lie on the ground.

The owner was Tazered on the back of the neck and then shot in the leg.

Police say that this is being treated as a robbery according to the news report.

lol yeah your not wrong.

Seriously though, who meets someone in a carpark?

So silly...

[babyskyline]

Agreed. Why the hell would you go out at night to meet a potential buyer. Yeh sure might be busy working during the week etc etc but still a very stupid idea in my books.

Man Tasered in face, neck, shot in leg

Attackers stole mobile phone, car

Police also hunting second shooter

A SYDNEY man has been shot in the leg and Tasered in the face and neck by a group of men in the car park of a hardware store, police said.

About 9.45pm (AEST) two men, aged 23 and 27, took a vehicle to the carpark of Bunnings Warehouse at Casula in Sydney's southwest, where they were to meet a party interested in buying the car.

"One of the men produced a shortened rifle and directed the two onto the ground where they were assaulted by the group," police said.

"During the incident, the 27-year-old was Tasered on the neck and face before being shot in the leg."

The three men stole a mobile phone from the victim and then left in a late model, dark blue Toyota Corolla.

The victim was taken to Liverpool Hospital where he is in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, in Queensland

Police are searching for a man following a shooting incident north of Brisbane.

Residents reported hearing two gunshots in their suburban street in Rothwell yesterday afternoon, and a man later presented himself to hospital with a gun shot wound.

Queensland police said the injured man was being questioned, along with four other people who were helping with inquiries.

"Police are searching for a male person allegedly involved in (the) shooting incident," a police spokesman said.

"Around 3.20pm (AEST) police were advised of shots being fired outside a residence in Cambridge Street".

The injured man, who was shot in the lower right leg, took himself to Redcliffe hospital.

[JAS-25T]

[PIG747]

did the car that was for sale actually get taken though??

[Basti]

did they take his car as well? cos if not then all they gained was a mobile

The two got tazered and shot when the buyers realized it was NOT a GTR as advertised I can think of so many other things better to do at 9:45PM on a Thursday night than go to a Bunnings Carpark.

[skyline-driver]

i think the car was a black mazda rx8

[Wheezy]

Sounds like what happened to my mate in Vic a while back, tazered and had his S15 stolen......

Its a joke that you can't even sell car car now days without this sort of shit.

When and if I decide to sell my line I will be at a location where I have access to a rifle.....

haha genius,

I'm not really looking forward to selling my two cars in a month or so now though, just have to make sure:

- you are in a public area with lots of witnesses

- ask the seller to come alone(had my last car checked out by 15 people at once, not good)

- ask the seller for proof of funds + ID before the test drive

- don't say your car is a GTR if it's really a GXE with GTR kit....you could get shot

[(B1) MR_fanny]

theres a car park near my place that has a new cop shop directly oposite it, youd have to be real desperate to try something then.

i guess it pays to be cautious...do a drive by first maybe if your sus..lol cant do much against a gun though.

[OzCarImports]

What, thats just piss week!

Hope the Cops catch them and the tossers get locked up

One report states that the perps were "of middle-eastern appearance"...

[satanic]

I really don't understand why they put those comments in these "reports"... like I mean, that statement only limits down the potentials to a few hundred thousand people right? I used to LOL so hard when the Organized Asian Crime Squad in Sydney would release these reports with comments like "perpetrators were of Asian appearance"

[Bakes]

Bring back the death penalty
