Charges have yet to be made for the death of a koala in Koroit last month.
The State Conservation Regulator is investigating the incident, with assistance from Victoria police.
A spokesperson for the Conservation Regulator told Fitzmedia on Tuesday that while the investigation was progressing, no charges had been laid at this time.
“We are continuing to ask that anyone with information contacts Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” the spokesperson said.
“The Conservation Regulator is investigating an incident in which a vehicle was allegedly used to drag a koala along roadway in Koroit on Wednesday 25 March.”
On March 27, the Conservation Regulator confirmed its investigators had interviewed a 67-year-old Koroit man in relation to wildlife cruelty offences.
The man was released and was expected to be charged on summons.
No one can be named surrounding the incident until charges are laid.
The koala in the incident was found alive by concerned members of the public, but had to be euthanased due to the severity of its injuries.
