Police search for man after Perth shooting

West Australian police are looking for a 24-year-old man in relation to a shooting at a home in Perth's east.

They say a 26-year-old man was shot in the leg at the Lesmurdie residence on Monday evening.

Several items were stolen from the home during the incident.

A police spokesman says detectives believe 24-year-old Joshua Greg Allen may be able to assist with their investigation.

Anyone who sees Mr Allen should contact police and not approach him as he may be armed with a gun.
