Police have arrested a second man over his alleged role in the Adass Israel synagogue fire.
Details, including if any charges have been laid, are yet to be released but Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Wendy Steendam and AFP Deputy Commissioner Krissy Barrett will hold a press conference at 1pm.
A Joint Counter-Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigation has been ongoing since the firebombing in Ripponlea on December 6, 2024.
This masthead revealed earlier this month that it had so far only been able to identify low-level suspects allegedly responsible for setting the fire, who were suspected as acting as street gang members for hire, with no known political or ideological affiliations.
A 20-year-old Williamstown man was charged earlier this month over his alleged role in the theft of a blue Volkswagen Golf, which was allegedly used by those involved in the arson.
The Adass Israel synagogue bombing shocked Australia.
The man faces charges including theft of a motor vehicle and failing to comply with an order to provide access to apps on his mobile phone.
