Police were called to Kimpton St in Banksia about 3.15pm to reports of a man allegedly vandalising cars.

Upon arrival, officers discovered multiple damaged vehicles.

Another resident who lived closer to the alleged incident said she was “lucky” to be out of the house on Sunday afternoon because she feared her car would have been damaged if it was parked outside.

A 26-year-old man was arrested shortly after the incident in Ferrier St in Rockdale and was taken to Kogarah Police Station.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.
