A caravan filled with explosives along with a note of known Jewish targets has been found at a property north of Sydney.

One of the residents of Derriwong Road in Dural called NSW Police about the mysterious van on January 19.

Officers found a load of explosives in the van along with a note containing the addresses of Jewish targets and a synagogue.  

Officers also found a note in the caravan which is understood to have read ‘f*** the Jews’. 

Police are currently treating the situation as a credible terror threat and are investigating the van’s origins.

NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have both been briefed about the situation.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Dave Hudson said his department is working with the AFP, NSW Crime Commission and ASIO in it’s ongoing investigation.

‘We’re taking this seriously and all lines of inquiry are being pursued, but I want to stress we do not believe there is an ongoing threat from this discovery,’ Dep Comm Hudson said.

Mr Minns said NSW Police is ‘very concerned about the rising number of anti-Semitic attacks’ in the state.

‘Police were made aware of a van with explosive material located in it in dural. They’ve been conducting investigations into the site, into the van, into the owners of the van, and any associates of the owners of that van,’ he said during a press conference on Wednesday.

‘I want to make it very clear, please take this threat incredibly seriously. 

‘As I’ve said for many, many weeks now, the full resources of the state of New South Wales and New South Wales Police have been deployed to confront this very serious threat to our community. 

‘I want to make it absolutely clear, and I understand community concerns about this story and similar escalating incidents of anti-Semitic violence in our community that anyone attempting terrorism, violence, hatred in our community will be met with the full force of the law, that there are massive amounts of police and government resources being devoted to this investigation, that there will be absolutely no tolerance under any circumstances for these acts of criminal violence in our community.’

Mr Hudson added during the same press conference that he believed the threat stemming from the dumped van had been contained. 

‘We will not rest until these matters are resolved. We understand the concerns of the community. We understand the concerns of the Jewish community, and we take all these threats exceptionally seriously,’ he said. 

It is understood the resident who reported the van to police was concerned that the seemingly dumped vehicle posed a safety risk to passing cars.

The man had towed the caravan onto his property before realising its contents. 

NSW Police have since seized the van and detectives are now considering the fact that the caravan was planted to fuel anti-Semitism.  

‘Some things just don’t add up,’ one source involved in the operation told the Daily Telegraph.

‘Leaving notes and addresses are too obvious, likewise leaving it on a public road makes us believe it could well possibly be a set up.’

more to come.
