Two men have been arrested following the alleged shooting of a man in the carpark of a Currimundi shopping centre on October 19, Queensland Police say.

Yesterday with the assistance of Victoria Police Taskforce Echo detectives a search warrant was executed on a residence in Saint Albans, Victoria in relation to the incident and the men, aged 56 and 26, were taken into custody.

It is alleged that on October 19 an altercation occurred in the carpark of Currimundi Marketplace between three men.

Two men were then seen leaving the carpark in a sedan.

A short time later a 45-year-old man presented to a Battery Hill medical centre with a gunshot wound to the abdomen before being transported to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.

The two Queensland men will face Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning before detectives from Sunshine Coast District Criminal Investigation Branch and Organised Crime Gangs Group fly to Victoria in order to seek extradition.
