MELBOURNE (AFP)-police flooded the streets in a suburb of Melbourne, after shots were fired for the sixth time in two weeks in an escalating violent feud between two warring families.
Shots were sprayed on houses, cars and even a playground in the Northwest of the city, and while no one was injured, police fear it is only a matter of time before bystanders are injured.
"We never had more police out in those areas that we currently have for the next few days," Assistant Commissioner Graham Ashton said efforts in Perth and nearby suburbs.
"Our main concern is that it escalated to where someone is hurt.
"The kind of people out there conducting themselves in this way need to get the strong message of Victoria Police that cannot be tolerated."
Police said the incidents were related to a clan war involving narcotics, centering on a House that has been targeted repeatedly, even by a homemade bomb thrown through the window in front.
The Herald Sun said the battle was between families, Tiba and Kassab.
Police said he had spoken to members of both clans, but they were not cooperating.
"The questions go back some time between these two families, but also involve, we believe, criminal activity, said Ashton.
"Certainly drug-related Activities, we believe, is probably behind it".
The head of a household, Abdul Tiba, whose home was hit by bullets, told the Melbourne age newspaper that he was sick of living in Australia.
"I have had enough of this stress," he said.
"No one helps in this country. No police, no community, no one.
"I tell them that I want to return (Lebanon)."
