Campsie Crime Manager Det Inspector Paul Albury said the police officers were recovering the stolen vehicle on Matthews St on September 30 when they were attacked from above with coins and other items thrown at them.

After calling for assistance from the Regional Enforcement Squad and dog squad, the officers went to the roof area to look for the people who were throwing items at them.
However, the people had fled by then, Det Insp Albury said.
