Statement regarding Bondi terror incident

The ACT Policing family sends its sincere and heartfelt condolences to the families of those people who have lost their lives at Bondi beach this evening.

We are also thinking of those who have been injured in this terrorist incident, including all responding emergency service workers and our NSW Police colleagues.

The images of people from all walks of life stepping up to assist their fellow citizens at Bondi are heartening.

In that spirit of community, we ask people to remain calm and lookout for one another.

As a precaution only, additional patrols have been enacted for places of worship this evening and the community can expect to see a visible police presence at events in Canberra this summer.
