Neighbours told officers a couple in their 40s had lived at the home for years but believed they had moved out because no one had seen them in months.
Witnesses said the home’s lawn is overgrown and the mailbox is overflowing.
It is understood rubbish has been strewn through the house, according to 9News.
About 10 were at the scene overnight, neighbours said.
The investigation is ongoing.
