Sydney, Dec 12 || Two Australian teenagers were arrested on Thursday after police believe they are linked to a crash, car fire and shooting in western Sydney.

Police in Australia's state of New South Wales said in a statement on Thursday that officers responded to reports of gunshots fired at a barbershop in Mount Druitt, about 40 kilometres west of central Sydney, at about 2:20 a.m. local time on Thursday, reports news agency.

Upon arrival, police found several bullet holes in the shop's window.

The shooting was reported shortly after officers arrested two 17-year-old teens at the site of a crashed vehicle in a neighbouring suburb.

The vehicle, which police said was stolen, had failed to comply with a police order to stop, triggering a pursuit that ended with the crash. The two teens were uninjured and arrested on the scene.

"During a search of the vehicle, police located and seized two firearms, a jerry can of petrol and two balaclavas," NSW Police said.
