Counter-terrorism police have raided multiple Sydney properties a little over a week after a bishop was stabbed during a live-streamed church sermon.
NSW Police said a series of search warrants had been executed in the city on Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation by the Joint Counter Terrorism Team.
“There is no current threat to public safety and no connection to Anzac Day commemorations,” police said in a statement.
More information on the raids would be provided later in the day, police said.
The counter-terrorism squad is made up of state and federal police, as well as officials from ASIO and the NSW Crime Commission.
The execution of the search warrants follows on the night of 15 April.
The stabbing, which investigators say was religiously motivated, left and priest Isaac Royel injured before the attacker was subdued.
Several people have also been arrested and charged over riots that broke out outside the church following the stabbing.
