Police hunt for ‘car flipping’ vandals

POLICE are searching for a group of “mindless” vandals who flipped four cars onto their roofs in Southside suburbs overnight.

The vandals targeted the suburbs of Calwell, Monash and Gilmore. The damaged vehicles included:

  • A silver Nissan Pulsar at the Pitstop Carwash in Webber Crescent, Calwell
  • A black Ford Ka in Andrew Crescent, Calwell
  • A white Toyota Corolla in Priddle Crescent, Monash
  • A white Daewoo Lanos in Alonson Crescent, Gilmore.

Police searched the areas throughout the evening and into the morning but were unable to locate any people of interest.

“It’s obvious those responsible for these mindless acts of property damage have no idea how upsetting their actions are to the owners of the motor vehicles,” Acting South District Superintendent Daryl Neit says.

Police urge anyone who may have witnessed any of these incidents or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the areas at the time of the incidents to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
