Overview
- The final NSW arrest, made Thursday after a South Nowra raid, closed the two-and-a-half-year Strike Force Glandore investigation.
- Police say the operation seized the largest cache of child abuse files in NSW history after about 150 search warrants across the state.
- Matthew Roberts, 37, was arrested in Corrimal after the raid and charged with 21 offences, including 13 counts of using a carriage service to make material available.
- He was refused bail and is due back in Wollongong Local Court on July 1, with police alleging he possessed, shared, and solicited child abuse material.
- Investigators identified more than 700 Australian-linked accounts on a shared cloud folder and laid just under 400 charges, safeguarding 20 children, while interstate partners pursue remaining leads including a separate Tasmanian case where a 75-year-old was charged and remanded.
