Detectives from the Counter-Terrorism Investigation Group have charged a 24-year-old man following investigations into suspicious online activity.
It will be alleged that the man was making plans for acts of violence, and a report from the public was made to Crime Stoppers, prompting police investigations.
The 24-year-old Bellbowrie man was yesterday arrested and charged with one count of other acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts.
Bellbowrie is about two hours south of Noosa.
He is expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today, 22 January.
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) reassures the community that there are no known ongoing direct threats to the community or any upcoming events at this time. It is not alleged that a specific group was the target of the alleged planned acts of violence.
The safety and security of our communities remain the Service’s highest priority.
The QPS continues to work in close collaboration with our federal and state counterparts to ensure the safety of all Queenslanders.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community should come forward, no matter how small or insignificant you may think the information may be. The National Security Hotline is 1800 123 400.
