Oceanside RCMP are investigating after three gunshots were heard in a Parksville neighbourhood early Wednesday morning.

Police were called to the 500-block of Martindale Road around 3:22 a.m.

Officers found two abandoned vehicles that had been hit by shotgun bullets in an “apparent drive-by shooting.”

Officials say the property where the vehicles were parked is well-known to police for crime and drug-related offences.

No one was injured in the shooting and police say it looks like the vehicles were the intended target.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Oceanside RCMP at 250-248-6111 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
