Victoria Police have announced a record reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of fugitive Dezi Freeman, accused of murdering two officers during a search warrant in Porepunkah on 26 August.
The reward is the largest ever offered in Victoria for an arrest.
Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said the figure “recognises the seriousness of this violent offending and our commitment to locating Freeman as soon as possible so that he is no longer a risk to the broader community.”
Freeman has been on the run for nearly two weeks, with 450 police and the military involved in a large-scale search across more than 100 properties.
Police believe he remains armed and have advised members of the public not to approach him.
