Police are looking for the driver of a white Hyundai sedan after Western Sydney was rocked by three drive-by shootings in just a 15-minute span.

The first shooting occurred just before 10.45pm on Friday, when emergency services responded to reports of shots fired at a home on Clarence Street, Merrylands.

Shortly afterwards, police received reports of gunshots at a home nearby Lockwood Street in the same suburb.

At 11pm, NSW Police responded to a third drive by shooting at a home on Monash Street Wentworthville.

Police say a white Hyundai sedan was seen driving from the Wentworth home at the time of the shooting.

This followed initial inquiries from detectives who were told the unknown vehicle was seen outside of each home before the occupants of the vehicle fired several rounds into the properties

Police want to speak with the driver, and are calling on members of the public with any information to come forward.

Despite the three homes being shot at during the 15 minute window, NSW Police say there were no reported injuries during any of the shootings.

NSW Police say a joint investigation between Cumberland Police and those in Taskforce Falcon are investigating the three shootings.
