On the face of it, it appeared a Dunedin passerby had made a grisly discovery.
But the two discarded rubbish bags did not contain human remains, as first thought. Rather, they contained the remains of several mannequins.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said police were called at 2.22pm yesterday after aperson found two large plastic bags on a grass verge in Eglinton Rd, Mornington.

The bags were slightly open, and the person thought they had seen a face inside.
