It is understood up to 40 shots were fired before the shooters left the scene.

Police believe the shooting is targeted.

NSW Police Superintendent Scott Tanner yesterday said it may be linked to organised crime.

Tanner also had a blunt message for the alleged offenders.

"There's only two outcomes for the people who are involved in this, and that is they'll either go to jail or be dead," he said.

Nobody was home at the time of the incident and there are no reports of any injuries.

The family previously living at the home moved out weeks ago to begin renovations.

Investigators said a black Audi was seen driving west along Leacocks Lane following the incident.

"I didn't sleep after that. You don't expect that that close to home, that's not on," one neighbour told 9News.

"We've got kids. As soon as I heard it, I covered his ears so he didn't wake up."

Anyone with information is urged to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
