Police have thwarted a potential firebombing in Sydney’s eastern suburbs overnight as residents wake up to yet more anti-Semitic graffiti plastered across their homes and cars.

Officers from the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command responded to reports of a car “driving erratically” along New South Head Rd in Vaucluse on Saturday night, and watched as the “extensively damaged” silver Mazda came to a stop after driving into the kerb on a Rose Bay street.

Investigators were seen pulling a red jerry can from the car and placing it in an evidence bag, along with two cartons of eggs.

Police did not confirm which items were seized from the car or their contents and have not designated the incident as a potential anti-Semitic attack under Operation Shelter.

But a spokeswoman said “investigations are ongoing” and police are “not ruling anything out”.

The Daily Telegraph understands the vehicle hadn’t been reported stolen and detectives are following up with its owner.

Meanwhile more anti-Semitic graffiti has been found in two of Sydney’s eastern suburbs overnight with police probing the latest in a string of incidents targeting the Jewish community.

Residents of both See Lane in Kingsford and King Lane in Randwick woke to find their fences, garage doors and vehicles parked on the street daubed with the phrase “f**k Jews”.

The two streets are about three kilometres apart.

It comes just three days after similar slurs were spray-painted on school property and a nearby home at Mount Sinai College, a Jewish private school in Maroubra.

That same day police were also called to a home in Eastlakes and to Eastgardens shopping centre, where targeted messages calling for violence toward the Jewish community were discovered scrawled across the entrance.

A NSW Police spokeswoman confirmed police are investigating the “offensive graffiti” found on Sunday morning and have established crime scenes on the streets targeted.

“About 7am today (Sunday 2 February 2025), officers from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command attended See Street, Kingsford and King Lane, Randwick, after reports multiple vehicles, garages and walls had been damaged with offensive graffiti overnight,” police said.
