POLICE have arrested a 43-year-old man after shots were fired and a car was set alight during an incident in Huntingdale yesterday.
Police were called to Kelvedon Way about 6pm after receiving reports that shots had been fired, and found a man wandering in his front yard armed with a rifle.
As police watched, the man, whose young son was in the house, walked in and out of the home, firing several shots into the ground and at a white sedan parked on the front lawn.
The man then set fire to the vehicle before surrendering to Tactical Response Group officers, who searched the premises and seized two rifles.
Firefighters extinguished the car, which was gutted.
Charges are expected to be laid today.
