Forensics have revealed that bones found at a construction site on Sydney’s northern beaches came from an animal.
On Wednesday, officers attended a construction site on South Creek Road, Cromer, at around 10.45am after a number of bones were unearthed.
The bones were taken for forensic examination, but police said this morning that the results indicated the bones did not belong to a person.

Cromer is about 8 miles (12 km) south of Bayview and 8 miles (13 km) south of Newport, where 18-year-old Trudie Adams disappeared in February 1978.
Chris Dawson was found guilty of his wife’s murder in August 2022 and sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison.
