Summary
- Teenager faces charges in alleged murder conspiracy.
- Drone surveillance allegedly used for murder plot.
- Target was warned of a threat to his life.
A teenager, identified as Jimmy Schulz, 18, has been charged with conspiring to murder a man connected to the Haouchar crime family. Police allege Schulz used a drone for surveillance purposes on the same day he was arrested.
Schulz was apprehended on September 11, along with Ratu Viliame James Koroitamana, 19. He now faces multiple charges including conspiracy to murder, participating in a criminal group, and possessing an encrypted communication device.
This alleged murder plot is believed to stem from an internal dispute within the Haouchar crime family. The family was once reportedly involved in international trafficking operations, with Bilal Haouchar still wanted by NSW Police.
Separately, Schulz is also charged with murder over the death of Joshua Macdonald, 40, on September 2, where a drone was allegedly used in a mistaken identity shooting. Ashleigh Ann Seeney, 28, a teacher, has also been charged in relation to the conspiracy plot.
