A Mooroolbark man has been charged after a non-fatal shooting in a supermarket car park in Bayswater earlier this month.
Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad arrested the 30-year-old Mooroolbark man on Monday evening, 10 November.
He was interviewed by investigators and charged with intentionally causing serious injury, reckless conduct endangering life and as a prohibited person possessing a firearm.
The man was remanded overnight to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
With assistance from Maroondah Crime Investigation Unit and Divisional Response Unit, search warrants were executed at residential addresses in Mooroolbark and Croydon.
A cut up firearm was located at the Mooroolbark property.
Emergency services were called to an incident on Station and High Streets just before 4pm on Saturday 1 November after a man was located with a gunshot wound.
It’s understood two men were seen arguing in a supermarket car park just prior to the incident.
Police believe the parties involved are known to each other.
