Police Charge Two Over Drive-by Shooting At North Plympton

Two men have now been charged over a drive-by shooting at a North Plympton barber shop in February.

Just before 9.30pm on Thursday 20 February police were called to a business on Hawson Avenue after five shots were fired at the building.

Fortunately, no one was inside the building at the time and there were no reports of injuries.

Southern District Detectives and Crime Scene investigators attended to examine the scene.

Following investigations, this morning (Friday 4 July) Serious and Organised Crime Branch detectives arrested two men over the matter.

A 24-year-old Croydon Park man was charged with discharge a firearm to damage property, contravene a Firearms Prohibition Order and possess a firearm without a licence.

A 49-year-old Fulham man, who was initially arrested in February, but charges were not pursued, was rearrested and charged with assisting an offender in connection with this incident.

They were both refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.

Anyone with information about illegal firearms in the community is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au
