Wieambilla shooter Nathaniel Train was wanted on an outstanding warrant relating to a border breach, but Queensland Police says it had no 'red flags' or 'raised concerns' about the Train family ahead of last week's execution of two officers. 9News
Deputy Police Commissioner Tracy Linford said police attended the property to follow up a missing persons report for Nathaniel along with an outstanding warrant for him relating to a border breach.
Linford said it was normal practice for police to visit the property of family members when following up a missing person reports."There wasn't anything to flag particular concern with our members who were attending the scene that day."His brother and sister-in-law, who was previously actually his wife, did reside at the address.
"That revolved around reports that Nathaniel Train had crossed over the Queensland border from New South Wales and had driven his vehicle through an e-gate, causing damage and his vehicle got bogged at that location. In terms of Stacey Train, Linford said there was "no criminal history of intelligence holdings on her".
"We are trawling through all their bank accounts looking at what purchases they've made and that might lead us then to other avenues of inquiry."
