Police make firearms arrest amid farm search for missing 4yo Gus Lamont
Taskforce Horizon is conducting the largest missing person search in SA Police history, with 163 officers and 230 volunteers involved, amid new forensic leads and a suspect at Oak Park Station.
- On Monday, detectives from Task Force Horizon returned to Oak Park Station to continue searching for evidence, with officers expected to stay for at least two days.
- Amid inconsistencies in accounts, officers turned their attention to a person who resides at Oak Park Station after police ruled out abduction and wandering.
- The operation has involved 163 SAPOL members and 230 non-police personnel, including SES crews, the Australian Defence Force, an Indigenous tracker and volunteers, while Polair and drones aided imaging over 706 square kilometres, with AI processing; a single footprint was found about 500m from the property.
- A firearms-related arrest occurred during the search, but police say the 75-year-old was bailed to appear in Peterborough Magistrates Court in May and the charges are unrelated to Gus's disappearance.
- Amid renewed searches, the family has responded by hiring lawyers Andrew Ey and Casey Isaacs, confirming full cooperation while police urge contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 as Taskforce Horizon continues searching this week.
