NSW Police charge woman over alleged involvement in Woollahra anti-Semitic attack

A woman has been charged over her alleged involvement in a highly publicised anti-Semitic attack in Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs last month.

The aftermath of the anti-Semitic attack in Woollahra late last year.

A woman allegedly made a callout on social media for plastic jerry cans one day before vehicles were set alight and houses were graffitied with anti-Israel slurs in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Tammie Farrugia, 34, was arrested at her home in Liverpool on Monday morning and taken in for questioning following the malicious damage and vandalism of cars and houses in Woollahra on December 11.

A car was torched and graffiti saying “Kill Israiel” (sic) was scrawled on a wall.

Police said the car had been destroyed, while another vehicle, two buildings and a footpath on Magney St were graffitied.

Officers have since estimated the total damage bill to be about $20,000.

Police established a crime scene and commenced an investigation under Strike Force Holony.

Farrugia, who breeds bull mastiffs and sells them on social media, has been charged with participating in a criminal group, accessory before the fact to the destruction or damaging of property and being carried in a stolen vehicle.

Police will allege in court that Farrugia made a callout on her social media account on December 10 asking if anyone had jerry cans she could use.

“Anyone got any plastic Jerry cans plz let me know thanks in advance,” she allegedly posted in a local Facebook group.

The Liverpool woman was refused bail and is due to face court on Tuesday.

The Woollahra incident was one of many across Sydney in recent months.

In the latest attack, a childcare centre in Maroubra was torched and sprayed with anti-Semitic graffiti on Tuesday morning.
