Shots rang out near Lougheed Town Centre late last month, and Burnaby RCMP are looking for help finding those responsible.

Police were called to the area of Austin Road and Lougheed Highway at about 2:15 a.m. on May 30 for a report of shots fired.

Upon arrival, officers located an uninjured 17-year-old youth who told them he had been shot at while driving.

“It is believed this shooting was targeted,” stated a police news release Monday.

Police are now appealing to the public for dash cam video from anyone driving in the area between 2 and 2:30 a.m. that morning.

“At this point of our investigation, locating any vehicles exhibiting suspicious behaviour in the area, such as speeding or driving erratically will be key evidence," Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the release. “Even if you think what you saw or captured on dash cam may be irrelevant, we’re asking that you contact us and allow us to determine whether your information will help progress our investigation.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information about it is also asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.  To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.solvecrime.ca.
