Australian police foiled an alleged organised crime hit by a so-called kill team near a Sydney daycare facility, authorities said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

New South Wales police swooped in on two cars after learning three men were preparing to carry out the alleged killing in Revesby, a suburb in the city’s southwest, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Police stopped two cars and arrested the men, finding two firearms, balaclavas, bodyworn cameras and jerrycans containing fuel during a search.<\/p>\n

A third firearm was located during subsequent searches of vehicles and premises allegedly linked to the men.<\/p>\n

Footage from Tuesday showed the two cars wedged between police vehicles as authorities moved in on the alleged offenders brandishing firearms.<\/p>\n

The cars’ windscreens were pocked with bullet holes.<\/p>\n

One witness, who did not wish to be named, told Australia’s Channel Nine he heard the gunshots and went to investigate.<\/p>\n

“I started walking out of my house and I heard some more gunshots and then cars were swerving,” he said.<\/p>\n

Police Assistant Commissioner Scott Cook said authorities had been investigating a transnational crime network “believed to be involved in multiple conspiracies to murder” for several weeks.<\/p>\n

Police allege the victim was targeted due to a breakdown in relationships within the syndicate, he said. The trio of men reportedly did not know the victim.<\/p>\n

They came “pretty close” to carrying out the hit, Cook said.<\/p>\n

He expressed shock that the group was “prepared to kill” in an area where there was such a high risk of collateral damage.<\/p>\n

“These individuals were being watched, and we moved at the right moment,” Cook said.<\/p>\n

He also stressed there was no chance the trio would have been “allowed to make it to a center”.<\/p>\n

The men have been charged with a string of offenses, including conspiracy to commit murder and participating in a criminal group.<\/p>\n

The trio were refused bail and will appear in court Wednesday. Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported a Vietnamese criminal syndicate hired the three men and paid for a hit on the victim who was previously linked to the network.<\/p>\n

Sydney police have in recent months stepped up efforts to curb criminal activity linked to Vietnamese groups after a string of violence.<\/p>\n

In April, a Sydney mother was abducted and executed over her husband’s alleged connections to a Vietnamese-linked organized crime network. Her children were also wounded.<\/p>\n

In another case, a man was shot in the head and buried alive.<\/p>\n

He survived, dug himself from the dirt and stumbled into a service station to ask for aid.<\/p>\n
