“The Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police Joint Counter Terrorism Team can confirm that a number of search warrants are being conducted as part of an operation in the following suburbs - Seabrook, Kealba, Meadow Heights, Broadmeadows and Flemington,” an AFP spokesperson said in a statement this morning.
“This operational activity is not in response to a threat to public safety nor is it related to last week’s incident at Endeavour Hills.
“While this activity is continuing no further comment will be made.”
