Australia. NSW Police Force in joint counter terrorism operation

Several people are in custody and a number are assisting with inquiries as a result of a joint counter-terrorism operation in Melbourne this morning involving the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Victoria Police, NSW Police, the NSW Crime Commission and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

NSW Police Officers from the Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics Command have been part of this joint counter-terrorism operation for the past six months and have provided investigative and intelligence assistance.

Over a number of months more than 20 NSW Police officers have been actively involved in the Melbourne phase of the investigation.
Police executed 19 search warrants across Melbourne at around 4.30 this morning. Warrants were executed on homes in Glenroy, Carlton, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park, Broadmeadows, Westmeadows, Preston, Epping and Colac.

Today’s operation involved approximately 400 officers from the Australian Federal Police, Victoria Police and NSW Police.

Police believe members of a Melbourne-based group have been undertaking planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Australia and are allegedly involved in hostilities in Somalia.
