agencies has been discovered during a drug raid in Melbourne, raising
fears of a major breach of national security and crime intelligence.
Police are investigating whether the former head of intelligence and
phone tapping at Victoria's Office of Police Integrity stole the
documents.
The files were discovered on September 10 by detectives searching a
house in Melbourne's north as part of a drug investigation.
They found boxes containing sensitive national security and law
enforcement documents, including files from ASIO, the OPI and West
Australian police.

specific details on highly sensitive operational matters.
