Auburn Detectives, under the banner of Strike Force Salacia, have been investigating the disappearance of Mr Cengiz Sarac from Auburn in 2005.
Today (Monday 23 April 2012) strike force detectives arrested a 29-year-old man at his home in Chittaway Bay.
He was taken to Wyong Police Station and subsequently changed with the murder of Cengiz Sarac.

Police have charged a man with the murder of Cengiz Sarac, who went missing in 2005 and was believed to have been buried under a Sydney home.
Detectives from Strike Force Salacia arrested a 29-year-old man on Monday at his Chittaway Bay home, on the NSW central coast.
He was charged with Mr Sarac's murder and is expected to appear at Wyong Local Court on Monday.
Mr Sarac, 24, was last seen leaving his home in Auburn, in Sydney's west, in August 2005 and was known to police.
Forensic experts descended on a house in Excelsior St in the suburb of Merrylands early this month with ground-penetrating radar which found an abnormality beneath the dirt surface of the backyard.
An excavation uncovered a number of items, including a small bone.
Police would not confirm on Monday whether the bone belonged to Mr Sarac.
Documents from the NSW Land and Property Information show the home was sold by Talal Kanj and Atef Kanj in March 2007. They had built it in 2005.
The current owners, who bought the house for $560,000, were relocated during the dig. Police said they were not connected to Mr Sarac's disappearance.
