Record reward tests loyalties for Malcolm Naden

But Mr Gallacher warned against amateur sleuths, with risks including coming across switched-on specialist police who know their target will shoot at them.

‘‘The last thing we want is for police to come up against people while they are looking for this man,’’ he said.

‘‘This is about providing information that will lead to his arrest, not taking it upon yourself to arrest him.

‘‘It is about bringing this person to justice before more damage is done, damage to the community and damage to individuals.’’

And Mr Gallacher also warned against elevating Naden’s reputation because he had been able to use his supreme bush skills to elude capture for so long.

‘‘This guy is wanted for murder, child sexual assault, the disappearance of another person and the shooting of a police officer,’’ he said.

‘‘We should not, for one moment, entertain any suggestion of glorifying this man as anything but what he is – a violent, desperate criminal who needs to be caught.’’
