Charges after man allegedly shot in foot at Greta

A man has been charged over an alleged shooting at a Hunter Valley home this week.

Police were called to the premises on High Street at Greta about 8pm on Tuesday, where they were told a 38-year-old man had been shot in the foot during a dispute.

One of the man's associates had taken him to Maitland Hospital - his injuries were not life threatening.

Hunter Valley Police District detectives investigating the incident arrested a 58-year-old man at a home on Anvil Street at Greta about 11am on Wednesday.

Police searched the property and allegedly found several firearms, a silencer and a small amount of cannabis.

The man was charged with discharging a firearm intending to cause grievous bodily harm, firing a firearm at a dwelling-house with disregard for safety, possessing or using a prohibited weapon without a permit, being a holder of category A or B licence not having approved storage and possessing a prohibited drug.

He has been refused bail and will face Cessnock Local Court on Thursday.
