Friday, 8 April

POLICE are currently searching Healesville properties following raids this morning.

Search warrants were executed at properties on Don Road and Maroondah Highway in Healesville before 10am this morning, with as many as 15 undercover and marked police cars at the Don Road properties.

As of 11.15am, police were still searching properties, with one officer telling the Mail that a man had been arrested.

A witness to the Maroondah Highway raid said police officers, armed with a battering ram, arrived shortly after 9am, followed by the dog squad.

The property owner then arrived with police to allow them access to the business and a residential property.

The properties appear to be the same raided by police in June, 2015.

Victoria Police have been contacted for comment.

More as it comes.
