UPDATE: Video shows inside today's Melbourne terror raids

Footage released by the Australian Federal Police has shown behind the scenes of an anti-terror raid which captured a Melbourne man who had allegedly been funding terrorism abroad. 

More than 100 police officers descended upon seven homes in Melbourne just before 7am today, in a swift counter-terrorism operation.

The film released by police shows officers searching throughout the building and yard and sniffer dogs being deployed in a garage.

Officers are then pictured documenting the collection of evidence and from where it was obtained within the house.

Police allege the man arrested in a raid this morning had provided $12,000 to a US citizen fighting in Syria.

The 23-year-old Seabrook man is expected to be charged with making funds available to a terrorist organisation.

Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan said the man allegedly provided the funds to support a US citizen fighting in Syria.

He told reporters further funds were about to be transferred.

"The operation today involved in excess of 100 members of the Victoria Police and Australian Federal Police," he said.

Today's counter-terrorism raids at seven locations across Melbourne were the culmination of an eight-month investigation based on information provided by the FBI.

"I can confirm that a 23-year-old man from Seabrook will be charged with intentionally making funds available to a terrorist organisation, knowing that organisation was a terrorist organisation,"

"There is no information or intelligence to indicate that this man was involved in planning an attack.

"Nor there are any known links to the 18-year-old man involved in last week's Endeavour Hills incident."

Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton added that today's searches were conducted in a low key manner.

"We didn't assess there being a significant community safety risk or significant risk to our officers," he said.

Deputy commissioner Ashton also reinforced that today's raids were in relation to the funding of overseas terror activity.

"We just continue to try to reassure the community to get on with their lives and keep doing their everyday business,"

Mr Ashton said the family of Numan Haider, the 18-year-old terror suspect shot dead by police last week, received death threats in the days after his death, which was concerning.

He stressed Haider's family had nothing to do with the incident involving the 18-year-old.

"This is not about any religion, this is about criminals undertaking criminal acts." he said.
