Police have made a number of arrests relating to the Gosnells shooting on Monday, which saw a residence on Dorothy Street was shot at about 9.30am and police shut down streets in an attempt to find the stolen car linked with the incident.

The silver sedan, registration 1DJL 456, was found dumped on Dwyer Street just after 1pm, with the driver and offenders believed to have fled on foot.

The car was found about three minutes from where the initial shot was fired, and police located shoes, a tomahawk and machete inside before it was towed from the scene.

The car was painted after it was stolen from an address in Maddington on Friday.
