There's been another spate of shootings in Auckland overnight as the city grapples with a flurry of gang-related attacks. 

Police were called to an address on Albert Street in Manukau at about 7.50pm on Wednesday after a report of shots fired. There have been no reports of any serious injuries. 

Police said cordons are in place and enquiries are ongoing.

Just 10 minutes later police were called to an address on Boundary Road in Opaheke after a report of gunshots. 

There have been no reports of any injuries and police are making enquiries.

It comes amid a turf war between the Killer Beez and Tribesmen gangs. Earlier in the week, an investigation was launched after a house was shot at and left riddled with bullet holes in south Auckland. 

Additionally, on Saturday, three people were injured after an incident in south Auckland.

Police found one person had been shot in the thigh and another two people were left with head injuries.

On Wednesday night, there were two shootings - the first was in Vina Place in Massey and the second in the eastern suburb of Mellons Bay on Bleakhouse Road.

On Tuesday night, police said the Killer Beez and Tribesmen gangs were behind seven shootings in Ōtara, Papatoetoe, Flat Bush, Papakura, Te Atatū, Henderson and Mt Albert.
