STATES:
1. On 8th June at 4.45pm I attended the premises of Mr Rodney WEAVER of 3 Donald Street, Brunswick, accompanied by Acting Detective Sargent Wayne NEWBURY.
2. A search warrant of Mr WEAVER’S residence had been granted by the Magistrates Court of Victoria.
3. We arrived at the suspect’s home at approximately 4.45pm and knocked on the door. There was no answer and the suspect’s car, known to be a mustard-coloured Volkswagen Transporter, was not in the driveway or in the street at the front of the house, giving a clear impression that nobody was home.
4. I knocked on the door again and waited approximately two minutes on the porch of Mr WEAVER’S residence. My associate wrote his details on a Victoria Police business card and posted this under the front door. The card alerted Mr WEAVER to our visit and asked that he contact us upon his return.
5. As we were leaving the residence I noticed there was a garage at the end of the driveway, down the side of the house. The garage doors were closed and secured with a chain and a padlock.
6. It was possible to see inside the garage through the gaps in the door through which the chain passed.
7. Inside was a silver Subaru Forester with Victorian number plate UKR 699.
8. I am aware that a car similar to this make and model was described by Hallie KNIGHT as a possible make and model of the car she was abducted in. A similar car has also been reported as ‘suspicious’ by a number of Crime Stoppers log reports.
9. In a previous interview Mr WEAVER said the only vehicle he owned was a mustard Volkswagen Transporter. He denied owning or having access to a silver Subaru Forrester.
I hereby acknowledge that this statement is true and correct and I make it in the belief that a person making a false statement in the circumstances is liable to the penalties of perjury.
