About time, they were making the cops look like bloody amateurs down here in Victoria. they'll be a few questions being asked how they got back over the border i reckon.
 
Yeah i reckon they were on their way to the pilliga as they would have never found them in there along with all the other pll missing out there !!! Bit too close to home for me
 
I reckon the silliest thing the cops did was call them modern day bushrangers, everyone loves bushrangers, thats not a valid reason for how two guys in a landcruiser can outrun / outsmart 112 specialist elite police and countless more general duties officers.. for a pair of blokes that were "cornered in victoria" with "nowhere to run" they did well to be caught near dubbo, and aside from stealing fuel they didnt do anything wrong by the public.

Oh other than firing an assault rifle at police

Allegedly.

Yep, very poor the way the Vic. coppers talked it up that they had nowhere to run and all the roads including tracks around Glenburn were covered and then they turn up about 4-5 hours drive away and over the dividing range in Bairnsdale. And then they manage to drive back across the Murray River back into NSW. Laughable if it wasn't so serious. Hundreds of city styled coppers with all those resources and they couldn't contain a couple of bushos in a bloody big white 4WD. It's amazing they ever find people who get lost out in the bush imo.

What did they actually do to start with?
Seems that body of the farmer they've found has been dead for sometime. Before that i think they were mostly petty crooks thieving and do standover type stuff etc
 
Looks like they put up a physical fight though...

Either that or the police just got payback for shooting at them :lol:
 
The cops should have spoken to 4wd clubs as you can get from one side of the mountains to the other over the alpine tracks without ever been seen.
Also they were only ever on the run for minor offences like theft and vandalism,BUT they had killed someone that the Police did not know about (old farmhand)so panicked when Police came across them last week. otherwise they might never have been suspects
 
Some news about the dead farmer has come out, sounds like he has had a seedy past also...

The caretaker found dead on the remote property where father and son fugitives Gino and Mark Stocco were arrested was believed to have past links to organised crime and cannabis cultivation.

Rosario Cimone, 68, was charged 12 years ago with eight others for his alleged role over a $30 million cannabis crop near Nimmitabel, in the Monaro region. Along with a relative, Angelo Cimone, he faced charges of cultivating nearly 15,000 plants.

In recent months, the Italian-born man had been seen around the tiny town of Elong Elong, between Dubbo and Dunedoo, where he worked on various properties.

He was working most recently on a remote 385-hectare property, Pinevale, that had no livestock or crops and backed onto the dense Goonoo State Forest.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, had previously made reports to Crime Stoppers, believing that drugs were being cultivated on the scrubby blocks of land that backed onto Goonoo State Forest.

She had observed suspicious cars driving in and out of the isolated area and different people coming and going.

"It's not a farming block and it's not a place you would just stumble upon," she said.
