-------------------------------

Community members may have noticed a dark blue Ford sedan parked in the service lane near Amart Furniture in Shepparton.

The vehicle, which has police tape on the side mirror and no number plates, appeared at some stage on Sunday, April 26. It was still parked in the same place on May 1.

Shepparton police confirmed the vehicle was abandoned.

They said the police tape was used to notify the community that police were aware of the vehicle and had attended the scene to inspect it. They also said the tape was a way to stop members of the community from continuing to report the vehicle to police.

Police confirmed the vehicle would eventually be towed from the scene by someone from Greater Shepparton City Council.
