The 20-year-old has been charged with recklessly discharge a firearm, plus motor vehicle stealing and unlawful possession of property.
The charges stem from separate incidents early last Saturday morning when it is alleged the men drove in a stolen vehicle to Briar Crescent at Gagebrook and fired a shotgun multiple times at a residential home.
It is further alleged the vehicle was then driven to Fisher Drive, Herdsmans Cove, where shots were fired at a home.
No one was injured during the incidents.
As part of a targeted operation, detectives from Bridgewater CIB this week searched a property at Lutana and two separate properties at Clarendon Vale.
Both male suspects were safely arrested and taken into custody, while police also seized a quantity of allegedly stolen property.
