Two men have been arrested and charged, following an investigation into an alleged shooting at Karuah.
Emergency services were called to an address on Bundabah Street at Karuah just before 7:00pm on Wednesday, following reports a man had been shot.
Police were told two men had arrived and allegedly shot the 55-year-old male resident, before stealing a Rolex watch and fleeing the scene.
He was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Following inquiries, at about 12:55pm yesterday, Raptor Squad detectives stopped a car on Ada Street in Belmont and arrested the 40-year-old male driver.
During a search of the man, police located and seized a knife, and he was taken to hospital under police guard in a stable condition.
Another 59-year-old man was arrested shortly after at an address on Terence Avenue in Lake Munmorah.
They will both face Belmont Local Court today.
