Yes, I can. The investigation of the alleged terrorist activities of these two suspects, known as 'Operation Castrum', is a New South Wales Police Force and Joint Counter Terrorism Team investigation. Police will allege that the two suspects purchased a large knife before returning to their home. Searches were subsequently conducted at the residence, on the motor vehicle and at their places of employment. Located at the residence were an ISIL flag, a machete and the large knife purchased earlier that day. Significantly, police also located a video recording of one suspect kneeling in front of an ISIL flag with the knife and machete, making a politically motivated statement threatening to undertake violent acts with those weapons. Other items have been seized as well, and the investigation is continuing.
