A caravan laden with explosives has been found in Sydney’s north-west, with notes suggesting a Jewish synagogue could be a target.

Security agencies are treating the threat as credible – but the cache was discovered nine days ago and not announced by authorities.

NSW Police were called to Derriwong Road, Dural, on January 20 after a local discovered an abandoned caravan filled with explosives.

The address of a synagogue was found in the caravan, police confirmed, and security agencies were called in.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Dave Hudson said they were working with the Australian Federal Police, NSW Crime Commission, ASIO, Victoria Police and the Queensland Police Service on the investigation.

“This is an ongoing investigation and is being taken seriously with all lines of inquiry being pursued,” Hudson said in a statement.

“There is no ongoing threat to the community.”

NSW Premier Chris Minns is expected to address the media this evening.

More to come.
