STUDENTS from Devon Meadows Primary School launched a ‘mock’ investigation at Cranbourne’s Botanic Gardens on Tuesday in the hunt for animal evidence.
Grade five and six students went on the excursion as part of their crime scene investigation studies.
A spokesperson for the school said the students had traced animal droppings, burrows and scratchings on trees as part of their investigations.
