NSW Police have made another arrest in connection to the senseless shooting.

POLICE from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team and the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad have charged a 22-year-old Sydney man in the connection to the fatal shooting of NSW Police accountant Curtis Cheng.

Police arrested the Marsfield man yesterday afternoon while he was driving on Watts Road in the Sydney suburb of Ryde.

He was taken to the station and charged with participating in a criminal group. He was refused bail and will appear in Parramatta Bail Court today.

Meanwhile the man accused of supplying the gun used to kill police accountant Curtis Cheng remains behind bars after he was labelled a threat to community safety.

Talal Alameddine, 22, was charged with a string of offences after he allegedly supplied a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver to Raban Alou on October 2.

It’s alleged 15-year-old Farhad Jabar used that revolver to gun down NSW police accountant Mr Cheng outside the force’s headquarters in Parramatta the same day.

Jabar was later killed in a shootout with police.

Alameddine’s lawyers applied for him to be released on bail but Magistrate Margaret McGlynn refused it last night saying she believed he posed “a great threat to the safety of the community”. Alameddine’s case returns to court on December 10.
