A convicted coke dealer’s home was riddled with bullets overnight, with police now hunting the suspected gunman who fled the scene in a stolen car which was later found rolling down the street while on fire in a nearby suburb.
Police were called to a property on Davidson Avenue in Concord in Sydney’s inner-west shortly after 1am on Thursday.
A neighbour said they heard ‘five or six’ rapid shots but no one was home at the time of the incident and there were no reports of injuries.
‘I heard about five or six rapid fire shots and I thought “What the hell was that?”,’ the neighbour said.
‘I’ve never heard gunfire before and didn’t know it could be so quick. But I didn’t hear any screaming or anything like that.’
The home belongs to Raymond Frangieh, who was convicted of cocaine supply over two decades ago.
The bullets caused damage to the front of the home, with the property declared a crime scene as detectives launched an investigation into the shooting.
Emergency services were then called to a car fire at Stuart Street in Burwood a short time later.

Astonishing CCTV footage later emerged of the vehicle rolling down the street while on fire.
It’s understood three occupants failed to put the handbrake on as they fled the scene in another white vehicle.
The fire is being treated as suspicious, and police believe it’s linked to the shooting.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers.
