Police in Port Hardy are investigating what they believe was a targeted shooting after finding a vehicle with bullet holes in it earlier this month.
The local RCMP detachment says officers responded to reports of shots being fired on Chancellor Heights in the morning on Feb. 15.
They found bullet holes in a vehicle with no occupant and canvased the neighborhood to gather video and witness statements.
Police are looking for additional witnesses and footage of the incident in the area of Douglas St, Park Dr and Trustee Road between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.
The investigation is ongoing and police say they are working to identify the people involved.
“Violence, whether targeted or not, affects everyone in the community and we seek to hold those who are undermining the safety of our community, accountable,” said staff sergeant Kim Rutherford, detachment commander of Port Hardy RCMP.
Anyone who has information that could help the investigation can contact Port Hardy RCMP at 250-949-6335 or CrimeStoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-222-8477.
