00:00Police search warrant! Police search warrant!
00:05An organised crime syndicate is allegedly behind Sydney's summer of hateful and vicious
00:10anti-Semitic attacks, as investigators allege they were motivated by personal gain and not
00:16racial hate.
00:17It is apparent that the incidents being investigated by both Pearl and Kissinger were orchestrated
00:21by an organised crime element and conducted to further their own causes.
00:27Police said the ringleaders living in Australia and internationally had not yet been arrested,
00:32but 14 people who were connected to the string of attacks had been charged on March 10.
00:39Police laid up to 49 charges following an investigation into a series of anti-Semitic
00:44crimes across Sydney's eastern suburbs.
00:48Strike Force Pearl officers executed 11 search warrants on 10 March 2025, leading to the
00:54arrests.
00:55Among those charged are a 33-year-old man accused of vandalising vehicles, a 40-year-old
01:01man linked to multiple graffiti attacks, and a 27-year-old woman facing drug and weapons
01:07offences.
01:08Alright, come sit over here and the detective will explain to you what's going on.
01:11Two men in custody have also been charged in connection with arson at Bondi Beach.
01:20None of the individuals we have arrested during Pearl have displayed any form of anti-Semitic
01:25ideology, however the threat to the community through the use of arson and the presence
01:30of explosives was very real.
01:33I understand the angst these incidents have had on the Jewish community, who we have been
01:38in constant contact with.
