POLICE have issued a £500,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest of a gunman who allegedly shot dead two cops in a brutal "execution".

A major manhunt for 56-year-old Dezi Bird Freeman, who has been on the run for 12 days , is still underway as authorities desperately try to piece together his last known movements.

The frantic search kicked off after Freeman allegedly gunned down three cops in what police sources dubbed a "straight out execution" in Australia on August 26.

A group of 10 officers were trying to execute a search warrant at a property in Porepunkah, northeast Victoria, before the horror shooting unfolded.

Policemen Neal Thompson, 59, and Vadim de Waart-Hottart, 35, were killed, while a third cop was seriously injured in the thigh.
