Man threatened

A MAN woke to a group of men threatening him in his own home.

It is believed they accessed the home through an unlocked door.

A UTE was stolen from a Pira address, west of Swan Hill, late last month.

The white Hilux utility was stolen from an address on Chillingollah Road between 6pm on April 27 and 7am the following day.

A yellow spray unit was on the back and a red 44-gallon drum of mouse bait and a blue tool box was on the tray of the ute at the time of the theft.


Rego plates removed

REGISTRATION plates were removed from a vehicle parked in Robinvale.

The plates were taken from the vehicle parked at an address on Madang Road some time on April 30.
