Heavy loud explosions were heard overnight in at least three suburbs of Melbourne and are being investigated by police.
Local residents reported that they heard the first loud bang near James Street in Northcote and around 8:25 p.m. heard a second just before 9 p.m. on Maltravers Road in Ivanhoe.
An explosive device had been placed in a washing machine on the back of an ute parked on the street.
Detectives in all areas are working together to confirm whether all incidents are related.
