Investigators will allege a 24-year-old man attended a home in Goulburn on Saturday (10 October 2015), and threatened a 22-year-old man and his 20-year-old girlfriend.

It will also be alleged he had earlier sent threatening text messages to the other man.

He was taken to Redfern Police Station and spoken to by officers from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) about threatening posts on social media.

These posts have since been removed.
