TWO men wanted for firearms and drugs offences in the US have been arrested in Sydney.
The men, aged 31 and 44, were detained by NSW police yesterday following requests from US authorities for their provisional arrest pending their extradition.
Yesterday's arrests follow an investigation into an alleged illegal gun supply route operating between Nashville, Tennessee and Sydney.
NSW police and Australian Customs and Border Protection Service have been working on the investigation with the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the US Drug Enforcement Administration since last year.
In October 2012, officers from the NSW police firearms and organised crime squad and Australian Customs were present during raids by the ATF in Nashville, which resulted in a number of arrests.
The multi-agency investigation is ongoing.
Hmm, just interested in what area of Sydney they're from.
ReplyDeleteNo info on that, Police media just says arrested in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we will hear much more about this too many involved and "Culturally sensitive" as the PC Brigade would insist.
Hope they are deported back to the USA at least if found guilty they will do some jail time.
