Disturbing details about the FBI and Australian Federal Police investigation can be revealed after the local tip-off recently led FBI investigators to a US-based dental assistant who allegedly filmed and then shared a video of himself carrying out a sexual assault at his workplace.

Police have allegedly uncovered dozens of 3D-printed guns at a Perth home and buried in bush and have seized millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine — and say they have taken out a “significant’ member of an organised crime gang in the process. A 36-year-old man is facing almost 50 charges after detectives seized 21 privately made 3D-printed firearms, meth and cash during several searches of homes and bushland last week.
