Police are frequent visitors to the Hope St address, where a Middle Eastern family live. 

It is covered by an extensive CCTV network.

‘Once I saw the police cars this morning I thought… here we go again,’ a neighbour said.   

‘There was a SWAT team. There have been raids here before.

 ‘All the neighbours have to live with this disruption. It is very noisy and disrespectful.’

Close to a dozen officers were seen removing evidence from the home, which had two luxury cars parked out the front.
