POLICE are urging residents of Narrabundah to park their cars in carports or garages after a spate of property damage in recent months. 

Between 1 December 2012 and 27 January 2013, police received 11 reports from members of the public who had their tyres slashed or damaged.

The cars were usually parked out the front of the residences and the damage occured primarily overnight, between Thursday and Sunday.

Acting Officer-in-Charge of Woden Police Station Sergeant Mark Steel is urging residents to park their cars in carports or garages if they can.

“More than 23 tyres have been damaged during the two months of summer. Some owners have  been targeted twice, and in one night four vehicles were damaged on Caley Crescent,” Sergeant Steel says.

“We are increasing our patrols of the area and surrounding suburbs.”

Residents are urged to contact police on 131 444 if they see anyone acting suspiciously in the area.
