Police charged two people on 20 March as part of their investigation into a non-fatal shooting in Hampton Park last weekend.
A 25-year-old Cranbourne East man and a 21-year-old Clyde North woman were arrested with assistance from the Special Operations Group shortly after 11am on Wednesday 20 March in Mount Waverley.
During the arrest, investigators located and seized a firearm.
The pair were interviewed and subsequently charged with attempted aggravated carjacking with a firearm, armed robbery with a firearm and intentionally causing injury.
The man was also charged with using a firearm contrary to the firearms prohibition order.
They were remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 21 March.
The arrests follow an incident about 4am on Saturday 16 March where a man and a woman were approached while sitting in a vehicle parked in a car park on Hallam Road in Hampton Park.
It will be alleged that an altercation took place after demands were made for money.
A firearm was then discharged, striking a 39-year-old woman in the arm.
She later presented at the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The 47-year-old man who was with her in the vehicle was not physically injured.
