A petrol station in Sydney’s southwest has been forced to close after vandals cut its fuel hoses and sprayed racist graffiti across the walls in what the owners have described as a “gutless cowardly act.”
The business was targeted in an overnight attack, with spray paint reading: “Die Aussies dogs, I hate Aus, Lebanon all the way.”
The attack on West Side Campbelltown on Lindesay St left the service station unable to operate, with the owners expressing heartbreak over the incident.
“This is a family-run business, and to have to deal with these things in today’s living is so heartbreaking,” West Side Campbelltown said on Facebook.
“We are trying to do the right thing by our community to provide everyday low prices on a very essential cost of living expense, and to have this happen by someone in our community is very sad.”
The graffiti, which included racist slurs, was discovered on Wednesday morning when staff arrived at the site.
NSW Police have confirmed they are making inquiries into the matter.
