Police were called to the Hume Highway at Gundagai about 2am, following reports of a break and enter on a business.
Two men driving a ute were pursued from Gundagai to Yass, during which police will allege a number of shots were fired by the men.
About 3.40am, the men stopped at a service centre at Yass, where police say they forced the driver of a Ford Falcon out of his vehicle at gunpoint.
The men, aged 23, were arrested at the service centre. Police fired a gun during the arrest and took the wanted men to Yass Police Station. At least one firearm has been seized for forensic examination.
