Two men have been arrested in New South Wales and Victoria as investigations continue into Dezi Freeman's movements following the Porepunkah shooting of two police officers last year.
Warrants Executed Across Two States
Victoria Police said in a statement: "Police have executed seven warrants this morning at properties across Victoria and New South Wales as part of the ongoing investigation by Taskforce Summit into the movements of Desmond Freeman after he fatally shot two on-duty police in Porepunkah last year."
Warrants were executed by Victoria Police at three rural properties in Buckland, Stanley and Lucyvale from just after 6.20am on Tuesday, 16 June. At the same time, warrants were executed by NSW Police as part of Strikeforce Namberta, in coordination with Taskforce Summit investigators, at four residential properties in Greenwich Park, Tarlo, Wombeyan Caves and Umina Beach.
Seizures and Arrests
Searches of those properties remain underway, and police have seized a range of electronic devices from the addresses. A 64-year-old Lucyvale man was arrested in Wodonga and will be interviewed by police. A 47-year-old Wombeyan Caves man was also arrested in Greenwich Park on unrelated outstanding warrants.
There are no further arrests at this time, however police are speaking with a number of occupants at the various premises.
