Investigations are continuing after a spate of malicious damage targeting parked cars in the Illawarra over the last two weeks.
Between July 16 and 17 more than 30 cars parked in the residential areas of Lake Illawarra, Mount Warrigal, Oak Flats, Barrack Heights and Barrack Points had windows and mirrors smashed.
Similar incidents were reported in the Shell Cove and Kiama areas on Friday, with more than 20 cars damaged.
Detective Sergeant Danielle Rebbeck from Lake Illawarra Police District said police would not tolerate this kind of senseless behaviour.
“What we have seen is a person or group of people targeting cars randomly, with no care for the owners or property they are damaging,” Det Sgt Rebbeck said.
“We are appealing for anyone with information to speak to police so we can take legal action against those responsible.”
Anyone who may be victim to a similar crime, or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage is urged to contact Lake Illawarra Police District.
Inquiries are continuing.
