New South Wales police is set to get $94 million to buy recent high‑performance patrol cars. The money will replace old vehicles and help crews get to calls faster. In another sweep, officers tore apart dozens of seized e‑bikes that had been tied to anti‑social behaviour.
The force also now has permanent power to hand out knife‑wandings, a tool that ahead of was only used in emergencies. Critics warn the power could be abused. Police are looking into a car fire at the Roselands shopping centre. They are also still searching for a woman who was reported missing from Wollongong.
