THREE homes in Adelaide's western suburbs have been targeted in drive-by attacks, with ball bearings being shot through front windows.
Police are investigating the incidents which occurred between 9.25pm and 9.50pm on Sunday in the western suburbs.
Three separate incidents of a large bolt projectile, possibly a ball bearing, being fired through house windows were reported at the Esplanade at Largs Bay; Lady Gowrie Drive at Taperoo and Sydney Ave, Kidman Park.
Victims heard loud bangs followed by a vehicle speeding off.
The attacks follow a separate incident earlier this month when a boy, 5, suffered a cut head from a glass fragment when a shop window was "shot" by a ball bearing or marble at Blair Athol.Police said a person in a passing vehicle used a catapult or slingshot to fire the projectile into a chicken shop window on Main North Rd at about 8.10pm on September 9.
The glass shard hit the boy, who was a customer in the shop. He was treated at the Women's and Children's Hospital and allowed to leave.
Acting Inspector Scott Denny said slingshots and catapults had the "potential to be deadly".
Anyone with information is requested to contact BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
