Police round-up

Alleged indecent exposure

A WOMAN allegedly exposed her buttocks before using profane language towards police in Kerang last week.

Police state the accused pulled her pants down at officers who were patrolling Hawthorne Court about 5pm on February 1.

The woman was expected to receive a summons to attend court at a later date.

Theft investigation

A TEENAGER has been questioned and released after the alleged theft of a vehicle in Cohuna.
