A caravan filled with explosives along with a note of known Jewish targets has been found at a property north of Sydney.
One of the residents of Derriwong Road in Dural called NSW Police about the mysterious van on January 19.
Officers found a load of explosives in the van along with a note containing the addresses of Jewish targets and a synagogue.
Officers also found a note in the caravan which is understood to have read ‘f*** the Jews’.
Police are currently treating the situation as a credible terror threat and are investigating the van’s origins.
NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have both been briefed about the situation.
NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Dave Hudson said his department is working with the AFP, NSW Crime Commission and ASIO in it’s ongoing investigation.
‘We’re taking this seriously and all lines of inquiry are being pursued, but I want to stress we do not believe there is an ongoing threat from this discovery,’ Dep Comm Hudson said.
It is understood the resident who reported the van to police was concerned that the seemingly dumped vehicle posed a safety risk to passing cars.
The man had towed the caravan onto his property before realising its contents.
NSW Police have since seized the van and detectives are now considering the fact that the caravan was planted to fuel anti-Semitism.
‘Some things just don’t add up,’ one source involved in the operation told the Daily Telegraph.
‘Leaving notes and addresses are too obvious, likewise leaving it on a public road makes us believe it could well possibly be a set up.’
more to come.
