Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad have charged a man this afternoon following a non-fatal shooting in Sebastopol last month.
With assistance from the Special Operations Group, a 25-year-old Sunshine North man was arrested in Ballarat this afternoon.
The man has since been interviewed by investigators and charged with numerous offences including home invasion, intentionally cause serious injury, recklessly cause serious injury and unlicenced driving.
He will appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court tonight.
A search warrant was subsequently executed at a residential address in Sunshine, where police seized a number of mobile phones and a taser.
The charges follow an incident where emergency services were called to an Edwards Street address following reports of gunshots around 1.30am on Monday, 24 June.
On police arrival, a 25-year-old man was located at the premises with a gunshot wound to the upper body.
He was conveyed to hospital to be treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
At this stage, police believe the incident was targeted.
Anyone with information on illicit firearm activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
