Major Police Operations in Liverpool, Sydney Amid Unfolding Incidents

A major police operation took place in Dural, Sydney, as dozens of police vehicles swarmed a residential property in connection with the body of a young father found partially buried nearby. The operation, which began around noon, led to a local school being placed on lockdown for over six hours due to safety concerns, with authorities advising residents to avoid the area. Tactical officers entered the property while a neighboring elderly woman was escorted out for questioning. This operation follows the discovery of John Birch, 39, whose body was found in a paddock on March 15, prompting investigations into potential foul play. Despite the intense police presence, authorities assured the public that there was no ongoing threat. As the operation progressed, residents expressed shock at the sudden escalation of police activity in their otherwise quiet community.
