Western Sydney has been rocked by two drive-by shootings targeting homes early this morning, with police believing the incidents may be linked.

The first shooting occurred at about 2.45am at a home on Columbine Avenue, near Lavender Avenue, in Punchbowl.

Police say several shots were fired into the property from a vehicle before the offenders fled.

About 15 minutes later, a second home, about a 10-minute drive away, was targeted in a similar attack.

Several shots were fired into a property on Noble Avenue, near Chiswick Road, in Greenacre at about 3am. The offenders again fled the scene in a car before police arrived.

Crime scenes have been established at both locations.

Following initial investigations, detectives believe the two shootings are linked.

Police are urging anyone with dashcam footage from the Punchbowl or Greenacre areas between 2.30am and 3.30am on Sunday to come forward.
