Three arrested after gangland style murder

THREE men arrested by detectives involved in two major but completely separate operations are in custody today on unrelated charges.

The three all had outstanding bench warrants out for their arrests when they were picked up by detectives investigating the most recent gangland-style murder and a team involved in Operation Anvil.

A key element of Operation Anvil is the execution of warrants issued after an accused failed to appear in court. There are thousands of outstanding warrants, many for minor offences committed by those believed to be involved in more serious crime.
