Video footage has captured the moment shots were allegedly fired into a car with a baby inside during a suspected criminal deal.

Police have appealed for public help after CCTV showed a person firing shots at a car in southwest Sydney last year.

Video of the incident at Greenacre on December 28 shows a figure dressed in black approaching a Mazda 3 and firing shots in broad daylight.

Officers found damage consistent with bullets being fired at the vehicle, empty bullet casings and damage to a fence.
