The house of WA Premier Mark McGowan has been put under heavy police guard after an incident on Saturday night which caused him to be rushed away from a wedding to return home.
Mr McGowan was attending the reception at the Vasto Club in the northern Perth suburb of Balcatta about 6.30pm when he was abruptly ushered into a car.
The premier was then swiftly driven across the city back to his home in the southern suburb of Rockingham were police had identified a major security breach, reports The West Australian.
Security around the 54-year-old has been upped in recent days after threats were made toward him when he mandated that 75 per cent of WA workforce will need to be fully-vaccinated for Covid or risk getting the sack.
