648 Domestic Violence Offenders Have Been Arrested In 4 Days Across NSW In State-Wide Crackdown

NSW Police arrested almost 650 “dangerous” domestic violence offenders across four days in a huge operation designed to prevent harm to victims. The blitz saw more than 1,000 charges laid, including those of breaching AVOs, stalking and intimidation, and possessing prohibited weapons. Some of the 49 weapons confiscated included axes, machetes and knuckle dusters. Cops also seized 19 firearms.

“We had grave concerns for victims so we targeted [the offenders],” Police Commissioner Karen Webb said, per ABC.

“Some of them have been hard to find … avoiding police … which is why we had this big concerted effort.

“The results speak for themselves. I’m very pleased.”

“Research tells us that without appropriate police targeting, a person who has been charged with a strangulation or suffocation offence is likely to progress to homicide offending,” Lanyon said.

“When combined with our suite of strategies, Operation Amarok will significantly reduce the risk of harm to current and potential future victims.”
