Police in Victoria arrest two men as part of Operation Summit, an investigation into Dezi Freeman’s movements following the August police killings in Porepunkah. The Guardian and ABC report that detectives take a 48-year-old man into custody at one location in north-east Victoria, and also arrest another man at a separate location. The reports identify the second person as aged 35 in one account, and aged 45 in another, and both men are interviewed by police as part of the ongoing investigation. The West Australian and 7News also describe the arrests as connected to the investigation into Freeman’s movements after he shot and killed two police officers. 7News states Freeman killed two officers in August last year, while ABC specifies the victims as officers Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart, who are killed at a property in the north-east of Victoria. ABC adds that at least two of the detained men are later released without charge, while the police investigation continues.
