At about 6am today detectives executed a search warrant in South Coogee, where they arrested a 33-year-old man.
He is expected to be charged with two counts of engage in conduct that corrupts a betting outcome of an event, and two counts of facilitate in conduct that corrupts a betting outcome of an event.
At the same time, detectives executed three other search warrants in Parramatta, West Hoxton, and Emu Plains.
