A major police operation is underway after shots were fired at a group of men in Sydney’s south. 

Police were called to The Boulevarde in Brighton Le Sands at about 3.15pm on Tuesday, following reports of a shooting.

Officers were told an Audi SUV turned into The Boulevarde, from The Grand Parade, when an unknown occupant of the car discharged a firearm in the direction of three men standing close to a parked vehicle.

The three men and the Audi left the scene. There have been no reports of injuries.

Police found three cars close by with bullet holes, including one which had gone through a windscreen, near a building which had also been damaged.

A car matching the description of the Audi SUV was also found alight 11km away in Windarra Street, Narwee a short time later.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire leaving behind only a burnt-out shell of the car. 

Two crime scenes have been established in the areas and an investigation has been launched.
