A 67-year-old man has been arrested as part of ongoing investigations into the movements of deceased fugitive Dezi Freeman.

Victoria Police executed seven warrants on Tuesday at properties across Victoria and New South Wales.

The Lucyvale man was arrested in Wodonga and will be interviewed by police.

A 47-year-old Wombeyan Caves man was also arrested in Greenwich Park on unrelated outstanding warrants.

The searches were part of the investigation into Freeman’s whereabouts after he fatally shot two on-duty police in Porepunkah last year.

Warrants were executed by Victoria Police at three rural properties in Buckland, Stanley and Lucyvale from just after 6.20am on Tuesday.

At the same time, warrants were executed at four residential properties in Greenwich Park, Tarlo, Wombeyan Caves and Umina Beach.

Searches of those properties were still underway on Tuesday afternoon, and police seized a range of electronic devices from the addresses.

Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have knowledge of Freeman’s movements between August 2025 and March 2026.

It is believed Freeman travelled between Victoria and NSW when he was on the run from the law and received assistance from a number of people.

Detective Inspector Anthony Gasparini said police wanted to know who may have assisted Freeman before he was ultimately located in Thologolong.

“We said from the outset that if alive, Freeman would likely need significant support to leave the area and survive over the following months,” he said.

“To that end, we are looking to identify and hold to account those people who provided that support to harbour a wanted fugitive and have potentially committed serious offences themselves.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have information about Freeman’s movements in the seven months leading up to his death, including those in the areas where warrants have been conducted today (Tuesday).

“We can also assure anyone who is willing to speak to police or provide information, that this can be done confidentially via Crime Stoppers.”

Freeman fatally shot Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart during a confrontation at his property.

A third officer was also seriously injured after being shot in the lower body.

The officers were executing a search warrant as part of an investigation by the Wangaratta Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team.

Freeman absconded into the bush and despite a number of large-scale searches undertaken in the Porepunkah area, he was not located for over seven months.

He was eventually cornered on March 20 and fatally shot by police during a fiery stand-off at a rural property in Thologolong.

Police rendered assistance however Freeman died at the scene.

No one else was present at the property and no police were physically injured during the incident.

Both the initial fatal shooting in Porepunkah and the subsequent fatal shooting in Thologolong are now subject to coronial investigation.
