Police have been trying to pull a car from the Richmond River at Ballina.
Police divers found the car submerged in the river around 12pm Friday, a spokesperson said Monday morning.
The operation was part of investigations into the discovery of human remains on the northern riverbank near Cherry Street around 3.50pm last Monday 16 February.
Officers said they’d taken both the body parts and car for forensic identification and were asking anyone with potential information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
