A MAN has been shot in the leg following a pub row while another gunman robbed a man in a shopping centre car park while wearing a full black burqa and sunglasses in a bizarre series of crimes in Sydney.
The gunshot victim, believed to be in his 40s, was involved in an argument at the pub in Forest Rd, Bexley, in the early hours of this morning.

He was shot in the left leg when he left the venue with a mate at about 3.30am.

The gunman got back in the car and fled.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, the burqa bandit and an accomplice allegedly stalked their 35-year-old victim after he withdrew a large amount of cash from a shopping centre in Miranda, in the city's south, about 5pm yesterday.

The victim drove to another shopping centre in Hurstville before the man wearing a burqa - traditionally only worn by women in the Islamic culture - drew his gun, grabbed the cash and fled.

Police say the two men they are looking for are about 20 to 25-years-old, of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance and about 170cm tall.
