The police are considering a disturbing theory while continuing to investigate a caravan that has been stored with explosives together with a letter from Jewish goals in Sydney.
For 12 days the caravan was left next to a property in the dural in the northwest of Sydney before a resident reported it, which led a multi-agent probe in the suspected terror plot that could have leaded to an explosion impact up to 40 meters wide .
The police believe that the incident can be linked to other anti-Semitic attacks in recent weeks and said it had the potential to be a massive victim event aimed at the Jewish community.
Found a ticket that contained addresses of Jewish people and a synagogue and included the words, 'f *** the Jews'.
It is believed that the explosive material Power Gel comes from a mining site and could have leaded to a considerable amount of damage, said the police of NSW Police Dave Hudson.
Arrests were made 'to the periphery' of the case, said Dep Comm Hudson.
It is, however, understood that the arrests of 'periphery' that of Tammie Farrugia, accused of an alleged anti -Semitic attack in Woollahra in December last week.
And the other arrest was Farrugia's friend Scott Marshall, who was accused at the end of last year of weapons and drug offenses that he has not argued guilty.

NSW place-replacement commissioner David Hudson does not believe that the plot is linked to extremists with the extreme right, but cannot exclude it.

The couple arrested in the 'periphery' of the attack posted on Facebook last month to buy a caravan.
On December 6, Tammie Farrugia tagged her boyfriend, Scott Marshall, in a message that stated: “Looking for a caravan for sale if you have a cheers.”
The arrests were made with regard to individual incidents, not the caravan – and from Thursday morning nor Farrugia or Marshall have been charged. There is no suggestion for misconduct.
The owner of the caravan is in police detention after they had previously been arrested for other alleged violations.
'With regard to the specific offenses with regard to the caravan, we have people who are charged on the edge of that investigation. There are questions about their involvement in the caravan or not, “said Dep Comm Hudson.
In the meantime, an officer who is involved in the operation has told The daily Telegraaf, “some things just don't right.”
“Leaving notes and addresses are too obvious, also leaving behind a public road makes us believe that it might be a set -up.”
Dep Communson said: 'That is clearly a consideration that we are also looking at. It is not unusual for certain elements of the criminal brotherhood to try to seek help by making certain weapons or explosives known to the police who seek help. '
The police are still looking for help from the public in their investigation, especially from everyone who saw the caravan 'in a dangerous position' parked on the side of Derriwong Road, Dural, between December 7 and January 19.
There is a joint terror investigation in which 100 officers are set up to investigate.
The police still have to confirm whether the plot is linked to extremists, Islamic terrorists or another group, locally or foreign.
“We have no specific ideology with regard to what this or a common connections between certain ideologies causes, but nothing is excluded at this stage,” said Dep Comm Hudson reporters during a press conference on Wednesday evening.
There is currently an investigation into the fight against terrorism with regard to a van full of explosives that were found in a dural property earlier this month
“We pursue everything until we reach the truth, and we will do that.”
The NSW police now work in collaboration with AFP, the NSW Crime Commission and ASIO in its current investigation
“That caravan contained a number of explosives and some indication that those explosives can be used in a form of anti -Semitic attack,” said NSW Police Dep Comm David Hudson.
“We take this seriously and all research lines are pursued, but I want to emphasize that we do not believe that there is a constant threat to this discovery.”
It is, however, understood that the resident who reported the van to the police was concerned that the apparently dumped vehicle was a safety risk for passing cars.
The man had dragged the caravan on his property before discovering the content.
The police have since seized the van.
NSW Premier Chris Minns described the incident as the thwart of a potential mass of victim event.
The police found a load of explosives in the van together with a note with the addresses of Jewish goals and a synagogue. The police are depicted on the semi-national property
“There is only one way to call it out and that is terrorism,” he said.
'I want to make it very clear, take this threat incredibly seriously.
'As I have said for many, many weeks now, the full means of the state of NSW and NSW have been used to confront this very serious threat to our community.
'I want to make it absolutely clear, and I understand the concerns of the community about this story and similar escalating incidents of anti -Semitic violence in our community that everyone who tries terrorism, violence, hatred in our community will be met with the full power of the Law, that there are huge amounts of police and government resources devoted to this investigation, that there will be no tolerance in any circumstances for these acts of criminal violence in our community. '
The police believe that the threat resulting from the dumped van has been recorded.
“We will not rest if these things have been resolved,” said Dep Communson.
'We Understand the concerns of the community. We understand the concerns of the Jewish community and we take all these threats exceptionally seriously. '
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has condemned the 'unambiguous' law.
