A Taranaki man accused of shooting at a boy racer doing donuts in the street outside his house has been found not guilty.

Police claimed Stanley Milne fired two bullets from a 22 calibre rifle at the boy racer's car, hitting the boot and brake light.

But the defence said Milne does not have that sort of gun and only fired a slug gun to scare the boys away.

The crown and defence made their closing arguments on Tuesday morning before the jury went out to consider its verdict.
