ACT police have searched a Rebels motorcycle clubhouse in Canberra's south as part of their investigation into a drive-by shooting at a tattoo parlour last week.
Police carried out three simultaneous raids about 6:00am - one at the Rebels Wanniassa clubhouse on Sternberg Crescent, one at a nearby residence, and one at a home on Hardwick Place in Kambah.
Detective Sergeant Matthew Gale says they were looking for the gun used in the shooting and no arrests were made.
"No items of interest have been located yet," he said.
Four bullet holes were found in the front door last Tuesday, and the owner claims the incident is related to an outlaw motorcycle gang.
Police are calling for information about a dark utility seen outside the shop on the night of the shooting.
Detective Sergeant Gale says appeals for information have been successful.
"Last week we went out with a call for information via Crime Stoppers and we received some strong support from the community," he said.
"A further call went out yesterday in relation to a suspicious vehicle which was seen at the location of the shooting and as a result of that information we are here executing these search warrants today."
