No bail for Sydney father over shot floor

A Sydney man who allegedly fired a shot into the floor of his estranged wife's home after arguing with her as he collected their children has been refused bail.

Mario Alexandridis, 35, didn't apply for bail when he fronted Sydney's Central Local Court on Tuesday on theft and firearms charges.

Police allege Alexandridis fired a shot into the floor of an upstairs bedroom at his estranged wife's Double Bay home in Sydney's east on Monday afternoon following a row between the pair.

He had gone to the home to collect his children, but argued with their mother after putting the children in his car.

Alexandridis also allegedly stole items from the home before driving off.

Following the alleged incidents, Alexandridis called his solicitor, who alerted police.

He turned himself in at Burwood police station.

The children are staying with relatives.

Alexandridis is due to appear before Central Local Court on March 13.
