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.

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

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

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

lol just threaten them to buy it lol

YOU BETTER BUY MY CAR MOTHERF**KER!!! *points gun at head of buyer*

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" :)

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
