In the early hours around 12:45 a.m., gunshots rang out at a residence in St Clair.

Inside the home, a woman in her 50s escaped unharmed.

Not long after, authorities discovered a second vehicle torched in Colyton.

The morning after this incident, a house on Hunt Street in Guildford West caught fire, and a nearby car was similarly engulfed in flames.

Firefighters managed to put out both fires, with no reported injuries.

In response to these events, authorities launched Strike Force Halesowen. Subsequent investigations led to a home search in Guildford around 5:45 p.m. yesterday, resulting in the arrest of a 19-year-old.

They have now charged six people in relation to the incidents, and they all remain before the courts.

Authorities believe the alleged incidents may be targeting Utai’s son, whose alleged links to the Alameddine crime network could have been the reason behind the alleged attacks.

NSW Police say the younger Utai is currently wanted for “criminal group offences”.
