Several buildings were destroyed or damaged in the attacks. Strike Force Reddan resulted in the arrest and conviction of the offender, who later died of natural causes while serving his sentence.In the podcast Detective Inspector Mathieu Russell of the New South Wales Police Force talks about key aspects of the investigation and court case, and reflects on the challenges facing police - both at the time the offences occurred in the 1980s, and more recently with Strike Force Reddan which was a cold-case investigation utilising modern forensic and information management technology.The podcast episode complements the feature article about the investigation that appeared in the June 2025 edition of the APJ.To subscribe to the APJ, go to www.apjl.com.au and click on the subscribe button.
