Yarra Ranges CIU are investigating a non-fatal shooting that occurred in Blackburn Rd, Mooroolbark earlier this morning on 22 January.

It is alleged a 35-year-old male was in possession of a homemade firearm, which was allegedly tucked, down the front of his pants. Because, sure packing heat above your man meat is always going to end well.

According to Police, the homemade firearm has discharged a single shotgun round, which impacted the man’s groinal region.

The male was then conveyed to hospital in a non-life threatening condition.

Another occupant of the premises is currently assisting Police with their enquiries.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Yarra Ranges CIU on 9739 2401, or make an anonymous report via Crimestoppers.
