A police spokesman said the exact nature of their injuries wasn't known but they're not believed to be life-threatening.

"Police are making enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding this incident and to identify the offenders involved."

Officers were particularly interested in a black or charcoal-coloured Nissan people-mover vehicle, similar to a Nissan Wingroad, with the registration plates of or similar to CAK346, seen leaving Carrington Rd around the time of the shooting.

"Anyone who sees this vehicle is asked to call 111 immediately and should not approach this vehicle."
