A 19-year-old has been charged with attempted murder over an alleged shooting at a father and daughter in Sydney in June.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after an alleged shooting at a father and his daughter in Sydney on 9 June. The 44-year-old man was picking up his 15-year-old daughter from school when a gunman ran up to the driver's side window of the ute and attempted to fire. Both fled down the street; the incident was captured on CCTV footage.

NSW Police's Taskforce Falcon, which investigates Sydney's gangland wars, and Raptor Squad officers arrested the 19-year-old on Wednesday afternoon as he drove through Sans Souci. Officers simultaneously searched a Cronulla home, where they allegedly seized a knife, illicit drugs and electronic devices.

The man was taken to Sutherland Police Station and charged with two counts of attempting to discharge a loaded firearm with intent to murder, installing a tracking device without consent, supplying prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis, directing the activities of a criminal group, supplying drugs, and possession of a prohibited weapon. He was refused bail and will appear at Sutherland Local Court on Thursday.
