UPDATE: A MAN has been taken into custody as Victoria Police and Australian Federal Police officers conduct counter-terrorism raids at properties in three Melbourne suburbs.
The raids taking place at Point Cook Rd in Seabrook, Flemington and Meadow Heights are anti-terror related, the AFP confirmed.

The raids are not related to last week’s stabbing of two police officers in Endeavour Hills, the AFP said.
Earlier, Victoria Police said in a statement: “The Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police can confirm that a number of search warrants are being conducted as part of a joint operation in the following suburbs — Flemington, Meadow Heights and Seabrook.
“While this activity is continuing no further comment will be made.”
