Police are looking for the people responsible for shooting a Hastings youth with an air rifle at the weekend.
Police say the victim and his brother-in-law were walking along Kiwi St in Camberley on Sunday about 6pm when an unknown vehicle drove past them with the occupants pulling gang signs
and yelling abuse.
The brother-in-law yelled abuse back and the vehicle did a u-turn and drove slowly past the pair. One of the car occupants pointed an air rifle out one of the car windows and shot the 15-year-old youth in the lower back.
The victim spent the night in hospital and a decision on surgery is still being made.
Constable Rhyan Honeyfield said the victims could only provide a basic description of the vehicle. It is described as a four-door sedan either black or dark green with a spoiler on the back. It possibly had red or orange stripes on the bonnet and boot.
