A Panmure house has been shot at overnight.

The incident resulted in two windows being shot out. No one was injured and police are making inquiries.

A police spokesperson confirmed they received reports of gunshots being fired towards a house on Oran Rd last night around 10pm.

"Two windows have been damaged as a result.

"Those responsible subsequently left the location in a vehicle.

"There are no injuries to report, and no arrests have been made at this stage," the spokesperson said.

It follows a spate of drive-by shooting across the city, including a series of shootings in Panmure in recent weeks.

On August 12, police said they were called to another property in the suburb on Taniwha St around 10.30pm after receiving calls about a firearm been discharged towards it. There were no injuries and inquiries into the circumstances of the incident remain ongoing.

On July 19, police were told of gunshots being fired towards another property on Taniwha St at 11.48pm.

Three days later on July 22, the Herald reported police were called to Panmure's Benghazi Rd after gunshots were heard about 7.20pm. One person was taken to hospital in a moderate condition.

Police are asking anyone with information in relation to last night's shooting to contact them via 105, quoting file number 220818/3003.
