Police said the man had not been charged with an offence.
“It’s very early days, we just got back to the station,” Chifley acting crime manager Chris Reay said.
Mr Reay did confirm the arrest was made in relation to the death of Mr Burrows, who was 58-years-old when he died in an explosion behind his mother's home on nearby Villiers Street.
Earlier this year investigators determined that the improvised explosive device (IED) which killed Mr Burrows early on the morning of July 24, 2015 was detonated remotely with a radio-controlled receiver.
More to come.
