Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed five people have been either removed from the centre or placed in solitary confinement after the incident.

He confirmed authorities were investigating whether the drug ice was involved after several sources at the facility have told 2GB radio host Ray Hadley it was.

It is believed the five have already had their visas cancelled but are awaiting the outcome of court appeals.

Mr Dutton said a no tolerance approach had been taken and described their behaviour as “out of control”

“It’s a pretty crook situation,’’ he said.

“We’ve come down like a tonne of bricks on a few of the people who are there, they’re obviously doing the wrong thing and they are standing up to the guards.

“We have a zero tolerance approach to this sort of behaviour. If people believe they can act outside of the law they have another thing coming.’’

Mr Dutton confirmed he had already cancelled the visas of at least some of the people involved.

“Where I have made a cancellation they have the ability to appeal through the courts,’’ he said.

“It becomes a great frustration sometimes.’’

Several witnesses said the five detainees were impossible to control during the rampage which lasted at least 12 hours.

The Sydney detention centre is an ongoing issue for the government. A large portion of the detainees are awaiting deportation. Some are violent criminals.

Investigations into the incident are continuing this afternoon.

More to come.
