Police have charged a 31-year-old man with aggravated assault after a shooting incident at Rokeby last Saturday in which a man received injuries to his arm.
Investigations by detectives from Tasmania Police South East CIB culminated in multiple searches across greater Hobart early this morning.
As a result of those searches, a 31-year-old man from Rokeby has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault and committing an unlawful act intended to cause bodily harm. He will appear before the Hobart Court of Petty Sessions on Friday.
A 34-year-old woman from Rokeby has also been arrested, and is charged with committing an unlawful act intended to cause bodily harm and has been bailed with conditions.
The charges for both people stem from an incident in Tollard Drive, Rokeby, on Saturday (August 16) about 3.30pm when a 36-year-old Rokeby man received a gunshot wound to his arm. He remains in a stable condition in Royal Hobart Hospital.
Tasmania Police would like to thank the members of the public that provided valuable information to assist investigators.
