Suspected human remains have been found by police in the search for kidnapped Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian.

An 85-year-old man was abducted from his residence early on Friday, February 13, in what authorities are treating as a possible case of mistaken identity.

This morning around 8 a.m., detectives involved in the investigation discovered human remains near a golf club in Pitt Town.

The police have stated that they are currently unable to provide additional details regarding the case.

A grey 2022 Toyota Corolla, equipped with cloned license plates, was found torched in Westmead. This vehicle has been connected to a crime scene that police established in Dural, located in Sydney’s far northwest.

Investigators suspect that the individuals responsible for the abduction may have transported the elderly man to the Dural property after taking him from his home.

Police believe those who kidnapped Baghsarian may have taken the grandfather to the property after the abduction.

During a raid, officers seized evidence, including disturbing images of the missing grandfather with his alleged kidnappers.

The Corolla, which had been spotted near the Dural property, was dumped and burned last Monday after 11.30pm, police said.

It had cloned plates of DVT007, and the Victorian registration 1UZ2BU.

Police have said the person they believe to have been the intended target of the kidnapping is safe and in no immediate danger.

The investigation continues, and anybody who has spotted any suspicious activity around Dural, or who has information or footage showing the car in question, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
