Two men who allegedly shot a police officer in the head while fleeing the scene of their firebombing attacks will remain in jail until they return to court in November.

Rodney Phillips, 24, of Oak Park, and Sam Liszczak, 22, of Morwell, are also charged with throwing Molotov cocktails at homes in Moonee Ponds and Broadmeadows, near those belonging to the father and former wife of slain drug kingpin Carl Williams.

The men did not apply for bail when they faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday, each charged with the same 14 offences, including attempted murder.

First Constable Ben Ashmole was hit in the head by shotgun pellets on July 7 while attempting to intercept two men, alleged to be Phillips and Liszczak.

Court documents reveal the pair had allegedly fired shots at a home and damaged a fence at George Williams’ home an hour before firing into Const Ashmole’s police car.

Two days earlier, Molotov cocktails were thrown at homes near where George Williams lives, and near the home of his former daughter-in-law, Roberta Williams.

Melinda Walker, representing the pair, said Liszczak needed immediate medical attention.

He has suspected broken ribs, injuries to his right leg, and dog bites to his left upper arm and shoulder, and is having difficulty breathing, she said.

Liszczak and Phillips were arrested during raids on homes in Morwell, Oak Park, Glenroy, Pascoe Vale, Traralgon, Cranbourne West and Strathmore.

Prosecutor Gemma Walton told the court police had to obtain CCTV footage from 80 locations before they would be able to file a brief.

The footage relates to identification of the pair and is crucial to the crown’s case, she said.

Statements from 50 police officers are required while 1500 telephone conversation intercepts will also need to be transcribed, the court heard.

Victoria Chief Magistrate Peter Lauritsen remanded the pair until their next court appearance on November 4.
