NSW Police said the Terrorism Investigation Squad started an investigation in February 2023 after hearing allegations of violent threats made through social media in relation to participants of a mass gathering.
Detectives allegedly uncovered 49 messages with similar threats or offensive content sent from a number of accounts that were believed to be linked.
The terrorism squad arrested a 49-year-old man at Tweed Heads Police Station on Wednesday (19 April). He was charged with using a carriage service to make a threat to kill and using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend.
He was granted conditional bail and will appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on 31 May.
“There is no current or impending threat to the community as a result of this operational activity,” police said.
