There were no reports of injuries.
A 20-year-old Munno Para man was arrested nearby and charged with possessing ammunition, carrying an article of disguise, affray and hindering police. He was refused bail and appeared in court in December.
Two other people were arrested during a search of a nearby house by Youth and Street Gang Detectives. A 25-year-old man from Para Hills and an 18-year-old woman from Salisbury East were arrested and charged with hindering police. The man was refused bail and appeared in court in December, while the woman was bailed to appear in court on 9 February.
Last night, following further investigations, Youth and Street Gangs Taskforce detectives arrested a 26-year-old Two Wells man and charged him with aggravated affray and failing to answer questions in relation to the driver of a vehicle.
