Police were called to Troups Creek Retarding Basin after the man was spotted about 9am on Thursday, 6 October, however they were unable to locate him.

A 70-year-old Narre Warren man and a 57-year-old Pakenham woman were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators have released CCTV images of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
