Armed police raid Chaouk house in Melbourne's west

Police have dug up the front garden of a home in Melbourne’s west this morning following a dawn raid by heavily armed police investigating a series of shootings in the area.
Search-and-rescue teams carrying metal detectors and shovels have also entered the two-storey brick home on Geelong Road in Brooklyn, that was the scene of the fatal police shooting of Mohamed Chaouk in 2005.
More than 30 police officers, including members of the elite Special Operations Group, raided the property just before 7am today.
It was one of a number of dawn raids on houses in Brooklyn and Tarneit in Melbourne’s west this morning by the Santiago Taskforce, formed to investigate non-fatal shootings in the northern and western suburbs.
A Victoria Police spokesman said the raids began about 6am in Brooklyn and Tarneit, and all properties were entered without incident.
One of those raids was at a house on the corner of Geelong Road and Conifer Avenue, where Mr Chaouk, 30, was shot dead by a Victoria Police Special Operations Group officer during a dawn raid on April 5, 2005.
The officer shot Mr Chaouk in the chest and abdomen after he allegedly struck the officer’s wrist with a blunt samurai sword.
A Victoria Police spokesman said officers were expected to remain at the house for several hours.
Earlier police searched what appears to be an upstairs bedroom, while a number of items have been removed from the residence.
A middle-aged man briefly walked outside the house and spoke to police officers about 8am.
Witnesses said police dogs were also sweeping through the house, while five police vans, about 10 police cars and an armoured police vehicle were parked in the street.
A large crowd of onlookers has also gathered on the street, which is opposite a light industrial estate.
Family members inside the house are peeking out at the heavy police presence from behind curtains.
During the raid police blocked a stretch of Geelong Road between Grieve Parade and Millers Road for nearly an hour, causing traffic chaos in the area.
Police have not yet provided details of the other raids, only saying that reports that shots had been fired were incorrect.
An inquest into Mr Chaouk’s death in April this year was told the Chaouk house was stormed by police in 2005  after a six-month investigation into alleged criminal activity by the family and their associates.
The inquest was told police had intelligence that some members were known to allegedly carry guns.
The 2005 raid came as police believed there was a "real danger" to the safety of certain individuals if the members continued their alleged activities unhindered.
Police from the Santiago Taskforce, Special Operations Group, Operational Response Unit and local police were involved in today’s raids.

今天早晨全副武装的警察搜查了一所位于墨尔本西区的住宅。这只是今天黎明在西区展开的大规模的搜查行动之一。这次行动主要是调查该区一些列的枪击案件。
手持金属探测仪和铁锹的搜救队还进入了位于布鲁克林区吉隆路的一家两层住宅，二零零五年默罕默德.恰克在此被警察枪击身亡。
三十多名警察，包括特警精英今天早晨七点之前突然对该住宅进行了搜查。
今天凌晨，在墨尔本西部的布鲁克林和塔密特进行了一系列的搜查行动。针对该区的持枪案件，本次行动由代号为圣地亚哥的特别行动组执行。
维多利亚警方发言人说，此次突然搜查行动从大概早上六点左右在布鲁克林和塔密特展开，对这两个区的所有住宅进行搜查，无一例外。
在这次搜查的住宅当中，位于吉隆路和考拿佛路交叉口的一幢住宅在二零零五年曾经发生过枪击事件。当时三十岁的恰克先生在那次凌晨突然搜查行动中被维多利亚警方特别行动组的一名警员射杀身亡。
据称当时恰克使用一柄并不锋利的日本武士刀袭击一名警员的手腕，随后该警员开枪击中恰克胸部和腹部。
维州警方发言人说在今早的搜查行动镇南关警员在该住宅中搜查了几个小时。
早些时候，警方搜查了该住宅楼上的一个卧室，当时屋里的很多物件都被搬出了住宅。
大概八点的时候，一名中年男子跟警员进行了简短的交谈。
据目击者称当时有几只警犬也参与了搜查，同时现场还有五俩警用面包车，大概十俩警车和一辆防爆车。
现场的大量围观群众聚集在一个工厂的对面。
当时该住宅中聚集了大量警察，住户不断透过窗帘向屋外张望。
警方还没有提供其他搜查行动的信息，只是说当时向恰克先生开枪是不恰当的。
记者从今年四月份关于恰克死因的调查审理中获知，警方曾经在二零零五年突然闯入恰克的住宅，据称是调查恰克家族的犯罪活动并且在搜查之前这一调查已经持续了六个月。
二零零五年那次突然搜查的原因是因为警方认为如果不采取适当的行动，恰克家族的犯罪活动会威胁到其他人的安全。
参加今天大搜查行动的包括圣地亚哥特别行动组，特别行动队，军事行动反应小组和当地警察。
