NSW:Naden spotted near Lismore

SYDNEY, Dec 10 AAP - Accused murderer Malcolm Naden has been spotted in far north NSW
as the manhunt for the skilled bushman continues.

Sergeant Dave Longfield from Lismore Police said there had been several sightings of
the 38-year-old in the area.

"That included sightings in ... Casino High Street and riding a bicycle at Coraki,
which were probably less than accurate," Sergeant Longfield told ABC Radio.

The 38-year-old has been on the run for six years over a murder near Dubbo.

NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell announced on Friday that he had increased the reward for
information leading to Naden's capture from $100,000 to $250,000.

Naden is also accused of shooting a 33-year-old officer with a single rifle shot on
Wednesday morning (AEST) as police attempted to corner him at a remote campsite, near
Nowendoc, in northern NSW.

The Tactical Operations Unit never saw Naden, one of NSW's most wanted, but believe
he was the gunman.
