East Auckland residents are feeling unsettled as police investigate a suspected drive-by shooting.
A police spokesperson said they were called to Felton Mathew Ave in St Johns after receiving a report of property damage around 9pm last night.
“Initial inquiries revealed two small holes in a door that may have been caused by bullets.”
No injuries were reported, police said.
Locals posted on a Meadowbank, Remuera, St Johns and Stonefields social media page after the incident.
“The house next door to us was shot at six times last night in St Johns. It’s [a] pretty unsettling feeling to have that happen next door and I can’t imagine how the people who live in the attached unit are feeling but I’m sure they are terrified,” a post read.
“I’m wondering if there’s a community watch in the area that can do regular checks going foward in the area just to help the neighbours all feel a little bit safer about the situation.”
Another St Johns resident said it was “very scary to realise this has started in our neighbourhood”.
Police inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
Approval has been given for a 35-home project next to a Havelock North garden store.
