A man and woman have been arrested over alleged firearm offences in the Lower Hunter region.
Police launched an investigation late Sunday evening (4 May) after receiving a report from a member of the public regarding a social media video allegedly showing a man firing a gun out of a moving vehicle on two separate occasions.
Around 2:35am Monday, officers conducting covert surveillance spotted a white Mazda CX5 in Burley Street, Tenambit. It’s alleged a man inside the parked vehicle fired a single shot into the air.
With assistance from PolAir, police tracked the vehicle to a property on Coal Point Road, Coal Point, where Tactical Operations Unit officers established a perimeter.
At approximately 5:15am, a 27-year-old man exited the home and was arrested without incident. Shortly after, a 22-year-old woman was also arrested at the premises.
Both were taken to Toronto Police Station as inquiries continue. There have been no reports of injuries or property damage.
No further information is available at this time.
