Teen conned

POLICE are investigating after a teenage boy was conned on Snapchat.

A 14-year-old was contacted on the social media platform by a person they stated as being a teenage girl.

The messages progressed to a point where the male provided intimate images of himself.

The female then disclosed that they were not a female and threatened to send the pictures to all his contacts unless he paid them $500.

He didn’t pay, and the matter was reported to police.

Police intercepted a vehicle on the Murray Valley Highway, south of Kerang, about 4pm on April 23.

Two large bags of what will be alleged was cannabis was located in the vehicle.

A 77-year-old man will face court at a later date.
