A 76-year-old man has been arrested after entering a business on Wallanbah Road in Dyers Crossing, near Nabiac this afternoon, armed with a shotgun.
Police allege the local man threatened occupants with the fire arm just after midday, before a member of the community managed to disarm him prior to police arriving.
“When police responded they set up a perimeter and managed to contact that fellow by telephone and he eventually gave himself up to police,” said Inspector Christine George from Manning-Great Lakes Police.
Police believe the incident was in relation to a dispute over rent.
The man was taken to Forster Police Station and is assisting police with inquiries.
