Police looking for gunman after incident in Beaconsfield

Cardinia Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a firearms incident in Beaconsfield last month.

Investigators have been told a group of males were involved in a physical altercation on Old Princes Highway at about 2.30pm on 7 February.

During the melee, one of the offenders produced a handgun and fired two shots.

Fortunately, no one was struck by the shots and all persons involved fled the scene in vehicles shortly afterwards.

A 22-year-old Cranbourne man and 19-year-old Narre Warren South man have since been charged with affray and bailed to face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 15 May and 18 June respectively.

Police are still looking to identify the gunman.

Detectives have released CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak with in relation to their enquiries.

He is perceived to be aged in his 20s, about 180cm tall with a solid build and tanned complexion.

He is depicted wearing a black Nike T-shirt, black pants and white shoes.

Anyone who recognises the man is urged to come forward.

Anyone with information that could assist police with their enquiries should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestopersvic.com.au
