The police conducted a five-hour search for a man who was spotted rummaging through a piece of luggage in a drain at Hillview on Thursday (May 25) morning. Victor Ilano, 50, told Today that he was out for his morning walk at about 6.30am when he spotted a light shining out of a hole in one of the drain hole covers. The Hume Avenue resident said: «That was when I realised there was a man inside, shining what seems to be his phone at a luggage.» Although he took a video of the man, he did not think to call the police at first as he assumed the latter was a repairman. However, he later noticed that the man was only wearing his underwear. Ilano also approached another jogger to confirm if he had also spotted the strange man in the drain. The jogger then urged Ilano to call the police. «Two police officers then came by around 6.50am or 7am, and they seemed surprised that there really was a man in the drain. They then asked people to stay away before calling for back-up.» Read more
