Police said they are investigating a series of damage to vehicles where hoodlums have smashed windows and stolen valuables.
Sergeant Cath Purcell said the offences are “certainly in the same area” but police are unsure if all the crimes have been committed by the same offenders.
West Street: At about 2am on March 20, offenders have damaged the driver and passenger windows of two vehicles parked at a motel, and have decamped when the car alarm activated and alerted.
Fisher Drive: March 19, offenders have attended a unit complex on Fisher drive, and caused damage to three vehicles.
Offenders have broken the front windows of a vehicle and stolen wireless headphones, and a wallet containing cards. Offenders have also gained entry to a second vehicle, and attempted to enter a third vehicle, leaving scratch marks on the drivers side window.
Butler Street: At about 7.20pm on March 19, offenders have entered a Butler Street house by unknown means.
Offenders have stolen two mobile phones, and an electronic remote control for the victim’s hearing aids. The offenders were disturbed by a resident, and ran out via the front door.
Elizabeth Street: Between 10pm and 12:05am on March 19, an offender has entered a unit via the back door, and was disturbed by the owner, who then ran out the back door. The offender has left behind other items of stolen property.
Another robbery took place on Elizabeth Street earlier that day between 6 and 6.30am. Offenders have stolen a bicycle from the front of a house on Elizabeth Street.
Police urge vehicle owners to remove all cash and valuables from vehicles, to discourage theft from vehicles.
