Overview
- Taskforce Summit and NSW Police executed seven search warrants across Victoria and New South Wales on Tuesday as part of an active probe into Freeman’s seven‑month flight.
- Officers arrested a 64‑year‑old man from Lucyvale who was taken to Wodonga for interview and a 47‑year‑old Wombeyan Caves man who was held on unrelated outstanding warrants.
- Police seized multiple electronic devices from properties in Buckland, Stanley, Lucyvale, Greenwich Park, Tarlo, Wombeyan Caves and Umina Beach for forensic examination to map Freeman’s movements.
- Detective Inspector Anthony Gasparini said investigators are focused on identifying and holding accountable anyone who harboured or assisted Freeman while he was a fugitive.
- The raids deepen inquiries into how Freeman avoided capture after he fatally shot two officers in Porepunkah in August 2025 and was later shot dead by police in March, and coronial processes into both deaths remain under way.
