Police have charged a man after he allegedly fired a number of shots on the state’s Central Coast yesterday, NSW Police say.
About 5.30pm today, a number of cars stopped at a vacant area of land on Palmdale Road, Palmdale, and commenced driving in circles across the land.
A nearby resident approached the drivers of the vehicles and told them to leave the area.
The 53-year-old man returned to his home and, a short time later, approached the males in the cars armed with a firearm.
Police will allege the man fired a number of shots at dirt banks, when officers attached to Tuggerah Lakes Local Area Command were called.

The man was taken to Wyong Police Station, where he was charged with fire firearm in or near public place, and holder of category A or B licence not have approved storage.
He was granted conditional bail, to appear at Wyong Local Court on 3 August 2016.
