ABOUT $280,000 worth of cocaine has been found hidden in a vehicle repossessed from a public car park near the corner of Archibald Street and Mouat Street, Lyneham, on May 5.
Since then the vehicle, a grey Toyota Rav4, bearing NSW registration ERP90Q, has been in a holding yard. On September 6, mechanics working on the vehicle, found a hidden compartment in the boot with a shopping bag of about 800g of cocaine and a quantity of boric acid, a known cutting agent.
Police were notified and a forensic examination of the vehicle has produced several leads, and investigations are ongoing. However, would like to speak to anyone with information about the vehicle that may assist in identifying who was using it before its repossession.
Anyone with information should call 1800 333000 or on the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
