Mystery deepens as car found abandoned in search for Sunbury man, 23
Police are urging for public help after a young man has vanished without a trace, with his car abandoned and no sign of contact in northwest Victoria. Joshua Bishop, 23, was last seen in Lalor Crescent at 9.30pm on 27 May by a housemate, and was subsequently reported missing by his mother on 29 May. His phone and bank accounts remain inactive, and he has not made contact with his family or friends in the past 10 days. Mr Bishop's mobile phone was tracked by detectives to a park in the Broadmeadows are on 27 May. However, after a significant search by police with the aid of a dog squad and drones, on Wednesday, they were unable to locate Joshua. His car — a white Toyota Corolla — had been located by investigators in Ridley Street, Albion on Wednesday. Mr Bishop's associates have told police that they believe his car was stolen from him, however, no formal theft report was filed. His loved ones are concerned for his welfare and say his disappearance is completely out of character. Police have not been able to rule out any suspicions based on the circumstances around his disappearance. Although Mr Bishop has not been reported missing before and is not known to the police, they are currently investigating if he has been involved in criminal activity. Acting Detective Sergeant Matthew Wilson-Hawe said the police have conducted extensive inquiries and searches to find Joshua in the past 10 days. 'We were able to track his phone to a park in Broadmeadows, however despite an extensive search of the area we were unable to locate any trace of Joshua,' he said 'At this stage we simply don't know what has happened to him and have increasing concerns for his welfare.' Sergeant Wilson-Hawe said Mr Bishop's disappearance on all accounts is incredibly out of character. 'The more time passes without us hearing Joshua or getting any information about his whereabouts, the more we believe his disappearance is likely to be suspicious,' he said. Mr Bishop has been described as Caucasian in appearance, with an average build, short hair and blue eyes The 23-year-old was last seen wearing a black singlet and track pants. Police are urging for anyone who has seen Mr Bishop since 27 May or who has information about his whereabouts to come forward.

Ottawa police looking to identify suspects in distraction theft on Bank Street
The Ottawa Police Service is asking the public for help in identifying a man and a woman involved in an alleged distraction theft that happened last month in Alta Vista. The Ottawa Police Service is asking the public for help in identifying a man and a woman involved in an alleged distraction theft that happened last month in Alta Vista. On May 18, a woman exited a white sedan in the 1500 block of Bank Street and started to walk north towards another woman, while a man waited for her in the driver's seat, police say. The suspect then approached the victim, starting a conversation with her, claiming that she had lost her mother. When the victim became engaged in the conversation, the suspect offered her jewelry items and $5 bills then forcibly removed her gold chain and bracelet, police add. That was when the suspect ran back to the car, officers add. Both suspects are described as being between the ages of 35 and 40. The woman is described as having long black hair in a ponytail. At the time, she was wearing a black top, black and white coat, black tights, shoes and a black purse. The man is described as having black hair and a full beard. He was seen wearing dark clothing, a grey coat and a black knapsack at the time the incident happened. Anyone with information about these two suspects is asked to call police at 613-236-1222, extension 5116, or Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous. The city's police service shared some tips to protect yourself: When you're in public, avoid displaying expensive jewellery Keep an eye on what's going on around you, especially in parking lots. Do not allow people you do not know to approach you or 'to place an object on you, it's a red flag.' Walk away from strangers if they approach you and seek help if need be. If you fall victim to a robbery, stay away from the suspect, do not follow them, call 9-1-1 immediately 'and try to remember as many details as possible, including their physical description, clothing, and any vehicle involved.' 'Thieves may target jewellery, but wallets, phones and purses are also at risk,' police said in a news release Wednesday.
