Melbourne police have charged a man with shooting two kangaroos with arrows earlier this month.
A man has been arrested over the shooting of two kangaroos with arrows in Melbourne's outer north earlier this month.
The 27-year-old man from Thomastown, a Northern Melbourne suburb, was arrested in Epping on Wednesday morning.
Police say they raided two Thomastown properties and seized two bows, six arrows, an arrow quiver and camouflage clothing.
The man is also being interviewed over another incident where a person was allegedly shooting a bow and arrows in a Bundoora park close to other people.
An eastern grey kangaroo was found shot in the head with an arrow that had penetrated through the bone and into the nasal cavity at the University Hill Estate in Bundoora on May 9.
After an operation, its prospects of a full recovery are good.
In an incident two days earlier at the same location, a juvenile female kangaroo was found with an arrow embedded in its rump.
Wildlife Victoria has offered a $10,000 reward to catch the person responsible.
