NSW Police arrest a 42-year-old man, Mohammed Skaf, in Sydney’s south-west and charge him over alleged drug supply offences. Multiple outlets report that the arrest occurs in Greenacre overnight. Skaf is a previously convicted gang rapist and is now facing new criminal charges relating to drugs.
Reporting across the outlets says police lay a large number of offences, with figures described as 24 offences or “nearly two dozen” drug charges. The Guardian adds that police say two other people—a man and a woman—will also face court in connection with an alleged large-scale drug supply scheme. The outlets state that search warrants are executed in Sydney’s south-west as part of the investigation.
All accounts agree that Skaf is charged following the arrest and that court proceedings are set to follow shortly after police action overnight. The reports do not provide further details of the alleged supply scheme or the specific locations or substances involved.
