A Thomastown man has been charged after shots were allegedly fired into an Ivanhoe East café earlier this month.
Detectives from the Mill Park Embona Taskforce arrested the 36-year-old during a warrant in Thomastown on Monday morning.
Police also seized eight firearms and a vehicle.
The man was later charged with using a firearm in the commission of an offence, damaging property with a firearm, using a firearm in a dangerous manner, using a firearm in a public place, discharging a firearm at a premises, criminal damage and failing to comply with firearms licence conditions.
He will appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court this afternoon.
The charges follow an incident on Lower Heidelberg Road just before 6am on Sunday, May 5.
It is alleged a vehicle stopped in front of a café before several shots were fired inside.
No one was inside the café at the time, and no one was injured.
