00:01Police were called to Lane Cove North in Sydney's Lower North Shore yesterday afternoon at about
00:07half past two to reports of a bad smell in bushland off Avian Crescent. Now when officers
00:15arrived there they found a sofa in that bushland five meters off of a residential road which had
00:22a storage unit in it and police say they found inside of that storage unit in the sofa a human
00:29torso. Now police are yet to identify this torso but they believe that to be of an adult male and
00:38they think it's been there for a couple of days now. Police have now set up a crime scene in
00:45this
00:46bushland in Lane Cove North. They've got cadaver dogs moving through the area. Officers are doing
00:53line searches and they're doing aerial searches as well as they try to identify who this person
01:02was. Now police are calling on anyone in the local area to come forward if they have any relevant
01:11information or footage. Let's take a listen to what detectives had to say. Well we have a number of
01:18resources in that area at the moment. The police air wing, we have a cadaver dog, we're doing a line
01:23search and you know we will leave no stone unturned to try and resolve this to a satisfaction
01:30manner. Lane Cove North is a really leafy affluent suburb and when police spoke earlier today they
01:37noted that it has little to no crime and they don't believe that this person met foul play in Lane
01:44Cove North
01:44itself.
01:48Thank you very much.
