NSW Police operation ‘successful’ in preventing ‘potential mass seeding incident’

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Mick Willing says more than 1,300 officers deployed in and around Sydney on Saturday successfully stopped a “potential mass seeding incident” in the city. Officers swarmed Sydney in anticipation of an anti-lockdown protest. “Unfortunately, eight people were arrested and over 250 infringement notices were issued in relation to offences, mainly for people who were outside of the local government areas without a reasonable excuse,” Mr Willing said. “I can indicate that that operation is ongoing across Greater Sydney today. Anyone who is thinking of participating in a protest-type activity will be dealt with. “In terms of the wider compliance operation, I can indicate that overnight in the last 24 hours, 516 infringement notices were issued, 38 persons were arrested for offences relating to breaches of the public health orders.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
