Burn out: Firefighters and police checked out a gutted car in Carramar Drive.

A NEWBORN baby was among the occupants of a Frankston house hit by gunfire early this morning (31 May).

Police said a drive-by shooting was reported just before 5am on Warrain Street and a car at the home was also set on fire.

Three adults and a one-week-old baby were in the property when the shots were fired. Police found bullet casings at the scene. No-one was injured.

About ten minutes after the drive-by shooting, a car was set alight in Carramar Drive.

Police are investigating whether the second car fire is related to the first car fire and the shooting.

UPDATE: The shooting is believed to be bikies-related. Echo Taskforce detectives are now investigating. Men wearing Finks bikie gang clothing arrived at the Warrain Street scene this morning.

Shots fired: Police found bullet casings in Warrain Street after a drive-by shooting.
Damage done: Aftermath of car fire in Carramar Drive.
