Police are hunting a shooter on a moped after two rounds were fired on homes in west London.

The shots were discharged within a 24 hour period and in the second incident a property was damaged by the gunman.

Police swooped on Cornwall Crescent, Notting Hill, at around 10pm on Friday after reports of gunfire.

The following day at around the same time a shot was fired at an address in Ladbroke Grove causing damage.

No injuries were reported in either incident.

A police statement said: "On both occasions it is believed the suspect or suspects were on a moped at the time of shootings.

"While both incidents are being linked, detectives retain an open mind as to the motive behind them.
