A man who was detained without charge and placed on a preventative detention order (PDO) during September’s raids in New South Wales has had his house raided by police for a second time.
The Australian federal police (AFP) said on Thursday that search warrants were executed on a number of properties in Sydney. The homes raided were in Marsfield, Regents Park, Wiley Park, Condell Park and Georges Hall, AAP reported.
Guardian Australia has confirmed that a man who was placed on a preventative detention order during the September raids lived at one of the houses raided on Thursday.
The September raids were the first time PDOs had been used in Australia. They allow people to be detained for up to two weeks without charge. The man and his lawyer were given no reason for his detention.
The man and his lawyer were not initially informed that their phone calls were monitored by police after the first operation. Surveillance of calls is mandatory under the PDO legislation. 
Guardian Australia is unable to name the man because a broad and indefinite suppression order issued by the NSW supreme court is still in place. He has not been arrested or charged.
A Beecroft man detained in the September raids was arrested on Monday and charged with financing the travel of Australians to Syria and Iraq to fight with Islamic State. 
Another man arrested in September, Omarjan Azari, who is in custody on charges of preparing to commit a terrorism attack, was also charged with terrorism funding offences on Monday. He is expected to face court on Friday for a brief hearing.
