Detectives from Taskforce Falcon are investigating whether three burnt-out vehicles discovered across Sydney on June 17 are connected to a gang-related shooting at a kebab shop in Auburn on June 16.

The first of the torched cars, believed to be a black Audi Q7 used as a getaway vehicle, was found ablaze on Wigram Street in Harris Park around 6 p.m.—less than five hours after two masked men opened fire inside the restaurant.
