Three people have been arrested following a series of drive-by shootings in Wodonga over the weekend.

Wodonga Crime Investigation Unit detectives and the Special Operations Group arrested two women, aged 43 and 29, about 10.30am.

The 43-year-old woman was arrested in Woodland St, while the 29-year-old woman was arrested at a caravan park on Melbourne Rd.

A 29-year-old man was also arrested in relation to the investigation, at the Hume Freeway border checkpoint around midday.

Their arrests follow reports of alleged drive-by shootings on Saturday night at homes in Wornes Drive, Gilbert St and Georgina St.

Detectives are also investigating whether a report of what appears to be a possible fourth shooting incident in Quirk Court in West Wodonga is also linked.

It is expected the Wodonga man will face Wodonga Magistrates’ Court charged with four counts of reckless conduct endangering life and four counts of discharge a firearm.

The women have been charged with four counts each of reckless conduct endangering life.

The 43-year-old woman is expected to face an out of sessions hearing at Wodonga Magistrates’ Court this evening.

The 29-year-old will be held over to appear at Wodonga Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning.

Investigations are ongoing with anyone with information urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
