A man's been arrested and charged with allegedly threatening another man with a firearm at Fern Bay. 

Port Stephens Police were called to a caravan park on Nelson Bay Road at about 2:00pm yesterday (Thursday the 31st of November, 2023), following reports a dispute had erupted between two men. 

Officers say the altercation was over a noise complaint, and allege a 60-year-old man held a replica pistol up to a 76-year-old man and threatened him. 

No one was injured as a result of the incident. 

The younger man was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station and charged with a number of firearm and other offences. 

He's due to face court on the 19th of December. 

Three Charged After a Man was Allegedly Detained and Threatened in Wallsend

Three people have been charged, after a man was allegedly detained and threatened in Newcastle last month.

It's alleged a man entered another man's car and threatened him with a knife at about 1:00am on Thursday the 16th of February, in the carpark of a fast food restaurant on Cowper Street at Wallsend.

He demanded cash before the 31-year-old victim was able to escape the vehicle.

Following inquiries, Raptor North police arrested a 32-year-old man on the Esplanade at Speers Point at about 1.40pm yesterday.

Believing the attack was part of a group operation, police then executed three search warrants at homes in Speers Point, Adamstown, and Macquarie Hills, where they seized cash, steroids, weapons and suspected fraudulent documents.

A 29-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman were then arrested at Adamstown.

All three were refused bail to appear in Newcastle Local Court later today.
