Sydney bomb emergency
Police have refused to confirm reports an 18-year-old-girl has an explosive device attached to her.
Police and emergency services have rushed to the exclusive Sydney suburb of Mosman, after being called to a home by a woman claiming there was a "suspicious device".
The 18-year-old reportedly has a bomb fastened around her neck, with a threatening note attached to it.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Murdoch told the media he could not confirm or deny this report, due to the "serious, sensitive" nature of the situation.
They are currently treating the device as live and have officers working with the girl.
Initial radio reports claimed the woman was wired to the device and threatening to detonate it. It now appears she may be the victim of an extortion attempt, in an area well known for its multi-million dollar properties, including one belonging to horse trainer Gai Waterhouse.
A middle-aged man and a woman were seen with police officers outside the house, with the woman wiping tears from her eyes.
A group of teenage girls gathered outside the police cordon refused to comment to media.
The victim's father is thought to be a successful Sydney businessman and the girl had celebrated her 18th birthday just a few weeks ago.
Police and the NSW bomb squad arrived at the scene just before 3pm.
Streets surrounding Burrawong Ave have been cordoned off, as ambulance and rescue services arrived.
Some homes have been evacuated and police are urging people to stay away from the area.
Police would not elaborate on details, due to the "delicate operation" which was in progress.
Police were called to a Mosman address, with reports of a "suspicious device"
NSW Police released a statement just after 7pm AEST saying bomb squad officers remained inside the house where they were examining the device and supporting the woman.
"The process demands a high-level of skill and must be meticulous," the statement said.
"The incident is not being treated as self-harm."
If you witnessed any suspicious behaviour in the Mosman area on Wednesday afternoon, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
