Investigators have released CCTV of a man and a woman who they believe might be able to assist with inquiries regarding the theft of a statue of a dog in Sydney’s south-west last year.
The alleged theft happened between 2.10am and 2.20am on Thursday 12 December 2019, at Edmondson Park Railway Station.
The statue of the dog, known as Caesar, is celebrated as one of 11 local tracker dogs that saved the lives of their handlers during the Vietnam War.
Officers from Liverpool City Police Area Command commenced an investigation and obtained CCTV footage of a silver car which drove into the railway station car park on Croatia Avenue.
A man and a woman were seen to park the car and return a short time later.
