NSW police move to extradite Melbourne woman linked to gangland shootings and Marco Tapia killing
New South Wales police have applied to extradite a woman from Melbourne, alleging she helped transport a gun used in two gangland shootings that match the weapon that killed Marco Tapia.
Court filings indicate that NSW authorities believe the firearm employed in two recent gang-related shootings is the same as the one used to murder Marco Tapia on September 1. The documents allege the Melbourne woman drove from Victoria together with several men suspected of involvement in the shooting spree. Police are now seeking her extradition to face questioning in New South Wales.
Why it matters
The extradition request underscores cross-state cooperation in tackling gang-related gun crimes.
