Police suspect two utes used in drive-by shootings

Detectives investigating two drive-by shootings in Sydney last year have released information about the vehicles they believe were involved.

Police believe the drive-by shootings on September 22 at Belmore and Brighton Le Sands were linked to the stabbing of three men earlier in the night at a function centre in Granville.

Just after midnight, three men aged 18, 27 and 28 were stabbed during a fight in front of a reception centre on South Street, Granville.

Two men aged 27 and 20 were arrested in the days following the incident and were charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm and being armed with intent.

Both men are due to appear at Parramatta Local Court on February 28.

Later that night of the stabbings, family homes in Little Grand Parade, Brighton Le Sands, and Liberty Street, Belmore, were shot at several times each.

Police have released an image of a white late model two-door utility that may have been used in one of the shootings.

Another vehicle that may have been used was described as a black Toyota Hilux ute.
