Police have charged two men with attempted murder following ongoing investigations into an isolated incident in Herdsmans Cove in January.

A man received head and neck injuries after allegedly being shot on Calvert Crescent shortly before 5pm on Saturday, 18 January.

A 25-year-old man and a 31-year-old man were charged with drug and serious firearms offences following a search of a Herdsmans Cove address in February.

Investigations have continued, and the same men were arrested today after detectives and specialist police executed search warrants at addresses in Herdmans Cove.

They have both been charged with attempted murder and firearms offences and are expected to appear in court today.

Police will allege those involved are known to each other, and that the incident was targeted.
