SOMEONE has done their dough and puzzled Aspendale Gardens residents are rising to the challenge of trying to solve the case of the mystery bread dumper.

Earlier this month, sometime during the weekend of 8-9 August, a substantial amount of bread was dumped across several locations at Aspendale Gardens reserves.

The Aspendale Gardens Residents Association posted photos of the mysterious incident on Facebook causing residents to ‘knead’ to know who had loafed around the reserve and why.

Budding Sherlock Holmes, without the Baker St address, quickly deduced the bread was not from the Aspendale Gardens bakery and so the mystery deepened.

Police will not be grabbing a slice of the action by investigating the bread dump since the dumping of bread is not technically a crime even if some of it was ‘brown bread’.

Concerned residents meanwhile watch and wait to see whether the mystery bread dumper may dump again.
