Rifle discharged in Gold Coast carpark



A CAR hoon has fired a rifle in a Gold Coast shopping centre carpark.


Police say a burn-out in a Nerang car park around 11pm (AEST) yesterday ended with a man jumping out of the car and firing the gun in the air before jumping back in and roaring off.

The vehicle was found a short time later and impounded.

The incident is the latest of dozens of firearm incidents on the Gold Coast in recent months.

A taskforce of 18 investigators was set up in June to combat violent crime on the Gold Coast following the shooting death of Detective Damian Leeding.

Det Leeding was responding to an armed robbery at a Gold Coast tavern when he was killed in late May.

In less than four months since task force Resolve was established, 14 arrests have been made and 65 charges laid.

Yesterday police formed a dedicated five officer squad to track down the source of illegal firearms on the Gold Coast.
