By: Nick Leys | The Australian

Detectives from the Victoria Police e-crime squad executed a search warrant on The Age all day yesterday, seizing computers and documents. Last night the newspaper took out the injunction against Victoria Police in the Supreme Court, blocking the removal of computer equipment.

In the raid, six detectives held lengthy discussions with editor-in-chief Paul Ramadge, Fairfax lawyers and a number of IT staff. Computer hard-drives and hard copy files used by investigative reporters Royce Millar and Nick McKenzie were examined, and it is understood police seized some material from the equipment.
