Wanted 19-year-old arrested in Toomelah raids, charged with Boggabilla drive-by shooting on November 23

The specialist police, backed by the Operational Support Group and strike force detectives, surrounded two homes in Toomelah on Tuesday morning, before raiding both of them.

Police said a 19-year-old man wanted in connection to the Boggabilla shootings in November was arrested.

During the raids, which took place about 7.30am, officers uncovered a replica pistol and ammunition, which have been seized and will be forensically analysed to see if they are connected to the shooting.
