Police, with the assistance of SES, have drained and searched a dam on a property in the State’s Mid North, however, there has been no sign of missing four-year-old Gus.
Police, including Major Crime and Water Operations Unit, along with SES attended the property this morning.
The operation to drain the main dam into the southern dam commenced at 9.15am today. It took about three and a half hours to drain the large dam, pumping water at approximately 15,000 litres per minute. A total of 3.2 million litres of water was removed from the dam.
Police divers have thoroughly searched the main dam and the holding dam, including clearing of weed beds, however, there was nothing of significance found.
The 3.2 million litres of water was then pumped back into the dam, with very little loss of water in the process.
Police thank SES for their invaluable assistance in this operation.
