A high profile millionaire couple have had their glitzy $27million mansion raided by organised crime detectives as part of a multi-agency investigation into unexplained wealth.
Heavily armed officers from NSW Police’s anti-gang taskforce executed a no-knock warrant on a Bellevue Hill home in Sydney’s east owned by former A Current Affair bureau chief Stephanie Jendegian and her entrepreneur husband Garrett on February 6.
The raid was conducted as part of a joint investigation between the Organised Crime Squad and the NSW Crime Commission dubbed Strike Force Candice.
Police seized a mobile phone and documentation during the raid, a spokesperson told Daily Mail .
Investigations under Strike Force Candice are ongoing.
No arrests or charges have laid been laid against the Jendegians and there is no suggestion the couple are the primary targets of the taskforce.
It’s understood the home was raided due to alleged affiliations with others being pursued by the broader investigation, The n reported.
Daily Mail does not suggest that either Stephanie or Garrett Jandegian committed any wrongdoing.
Daily Mail has contacted the Jandegians for comment.
Ms Jandegian is a former dancer on Network Ten’s reality show So You Think You Can Dance and spent four years as A Current Affair’s Sydney bureau chief.
She left Channel Nine in 2020 and currently is an advisory board member for the Starlight Foundation.
Her husband co-founded alkaline water venture Aqualove in 2017.
While he’s no longer associated with Aqualove, he continues to serve as sales director for rapid antigen test and PPE business Pharma Soul, which enjoyed strong demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Jandegians purchased their Bellevue Hill home in 2022 after it went on offer at an eye-watering $27m in what was widely acknowledged as that year’s biggest acquisition in Sydney’s most expensive postcode.
The country-style mansion with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool and tennis court was formerly owned by ex-ASX chief Dominic Stevens.
The lavish purchase was the millennial couple’s second big buy of 2022, following the $5.8million purchase of a Vaucluse home earlier in the year.
The couple is also rumoured to have snatched up a second $15.1m property in Bellevue Hill the following year.
More recently, the Jandegians bought a $4.2m luxury apartment in the sought-after Sirius building overlooking Sydney Harbour.
