Police are investigating a possible link between a man found dead in Werribee overnight and a carjacking in Hoppers Crossing earlier this week.
The deceased man’s body was found by police at the base of a building on Duncans Road at about 10.30pm on Thursday October 26.
Emergency services were called and police attempted to revive the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The circumstances surrounding the man’s death are still being investigated.
Police had arrived at the building after a van being followed by the Air Wing was seen entering the carpark of a hotel on Duncans Road.
The Air Wing had been following the van after it sped off from police in Werribee at about 9.30pm.
Police believe the deceased man was the driver of the van and are investigating a possible link between the van and an aggravated carjacking in Hoppers Crossing on Sunday 22 October.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
