Man charged with attempted murder over 'crime as service' shooting on NSW Central Coast

A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after a shooting at a home in Berkeley Vale on the NSW Central Coast left another man with multiple gunshot injuries.

Bison Zounis, 20, is accused of breaking into the home on Wednesday morning and shooting a 37-year-old man, leaving him with gunshot wounds to the torso and hand. The victim, who has been cooperating with police, remains in hospital in a stable condition.

Police have alleged that Mr Zounis was hired to carry out the shooting in a "crime as a service". NSW Police Raptor Squad Commander Detective Acting Superintendent Brad Abdy said it did not appear the two men were known to each other.

"We don't believe there was any prior connection between these two people and it's most likely a crime as a service-type crime," Acting Superintendent Abdy said.

Police seized a Glock pistol and ammunition from a home in Penrith. It is unclear whether the incident is linked to a spate of recent shootings in Sydney.

"Whether there's gang involvement or organised crime involvement, they're areas that we're exploring," Acting Superintendent Abdy said.

A motive for the shooting has yet to be determined. Mr Zounis was arrested at Gosford train station on Thursday morning, where he was allegedly in possession of drugs including cannabis and cocaine.

Police tracked a car seen by witnesses at the time of the shooting, before identifying him. It is alleged a search of his Penrith home uncovered items including a Glock pistol and eight rounds of ammunition.

"This event demonstrates that police will do everything they can to identify these criminals and arrest them and put them before the court," Acting Superintendent Abdy said.

Mr Zounis is facing 10 charges including shoot with intent to murder. He did not appear in the bail court when the charges were briefly mentioned and no application for bail was made on his behalf. The matter has been adjourned until November.
