Police appeal for help

Victoria Police are appealing for public assistance following a non-fatal shooting in North Shore in January this year.

Police were called to a residential address in Myrtle Grove around 5.40pm on 8 January, after a report of shots being fired.

A 46-year-old North Shore man at the address had serious injuries to his upper leg and was taken to the Geelong Hospital.

Taskforce Griffin investigators have released footage of two men they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries.

Investigators said they were looking for a vehicle shown in the footage, believed to be a maroon coloured BMW sedan.

Taskforce Griffin was established in February this year to investigate a series of firearm thefts and gun related crimes in the Geelong region.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.
