Dezi Freeman’s Hideout Footage Sparks Police Trespass Investigation
Police in Victoria are investigating a YouTuber known as Biff for potential trespassing after videos showing inside the shipping container where fugitive Dezi Freeman was living were posted online. The footage, shared from The Chaos Chronicles channel, includes views of the container’s interior and surrounding property at Thologolong in the state’s north-east.
The investigation follows Freeman’s death on 30 March 2026, after he killed two police officers and wounded a third in Porepunkah in August 2025, then spent seven months on the run. Authorities confirmed the videos were filmed on private property without permission, prompting the trespass inquiry.
What the Footage Shows
The videos depict Biff walking through the Thologolong property with another man, pointing out bullet holes in an overturned boat and examining a makeshift camp kitchen outside the shipping container. Inside the container, shirts hang on hangers, a hiking bag lies on the ground, and a sleeping bag, table, and couch are visible among other personal items.
Additional content includes drone footage of the area and clips related to a drone crash previously featured on The Chaos Chronicles channel.
