Australian police search homes linked to New Zealand mosque attacks

AFP  |  Sydney 

Australian police raided two homes early Monday linked to the mass shooting that killed 50 people at two mosques last week, police said.

The homes were in New where the accused gunman, Brenton Tarrant, grew up, though he has spent most of the last decade overseas, officials said.

"The primary aim of the activity is to formally obtain material that may assist police in their ongoing investigation," a police statement said.
