VANDALS have targeted the Lindt Cafe that was the site of the Sydney siege last year. The attack is believed to have taken place after midnight.

Lindt Cafe Vandalism

THE Lindt Cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place has been targeted by vandals, with rocks thrown at windows.

Several windows have been shattered with large holes visible in the glass. The windows are the same ones hostages during the December 16 siege were forced to stand with an Islamic flag by gunman Man Haron Monis.

A large rock could be seen at the foot of the glass doors to the cafe, which only reopened in March following the deadly siege.
