BREAKING! Pair Front Court Over Alleged Drive-By Shooting At Gateshead

 BY IAN CROUCH

Police have made a breakthrough in their investigation into a drive-by shooting at Gateshead last month.

A 41-year-old man was asleep with his family in their Flame Street home just after 4.00am on Thursday May 18 when they were woken by two loud noises.

He was injured after a projectile entered the front window.

Following inquiries, police raided a home on the Pacific Highway at Doyalson North yesterday and seized a Mitsubishi Magna, clothing and electronic devices.

A 38-year-old man was arrested at the scene and a 45-year-old woman was arrested later the same day.

The woman faced Toronto Local Court yesterday and the man is due to face Wyong Court today (Tuesday 20 June, 2023).
