A suspicious purchase and quick-thinking Bunnings employees helped to stop what could have been Australia’s most devastating terror attack.
Ahmed Mohamed, a young man who had grown up in Melbourne, entered a Broadmeadows Bunnings store in December 2016 and made a single purchase that raised alarm bells with the staff.
He bought 700 nail-gun cartridges filled with gunpowder, which were kept behind a locked counter in the hardware store, The Age reported.
This was the only thing Mohamed bought but it made staff suspicious enough to follow him back to his car and take down his licence plate details.
