On Friday morning, New South Wales (NSW) Police confirmed that a man had handed himself into a local police station.
The force said in a statement: “As part of investigations into the disappearance of two men in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, a 29-year-old man presented to Bondi Police Station shortly after 10.30am today (Friday 23 February 2024).
“The man will be transferred to Waverley Police station where investigations will continue.”
A spokeswoman confirmed to The Sun that a 29-year-old man had been arrested.
It comes after officers searched a home in the Balmain area of Sydney on Thursday night and seized a number of items.
NSW Police said at 4.14am local time on Friday: “No further information regarding items taken from the property is available at this time.”
The last time Baird and Davies were seen was on Monday in Paddington, cops said.
Police feared there had “been some sort of incident” after they found blood-covered clothes belonging to Davies and Baird in a skip bin on Wednesday morning.
It was unclear who the blood belonged to, but cops said the amount suggested at least one of the men experienced a “significant injury”.
Neighbours reportedly heard an argument coming from Baird’s home on Monday but did not report it until the police arrived on Wednesday.
