A Macquarie woman has been charged with multiple offences after a series of graffiti attacks on the King George Memorial in Parkes.

Police say the memorial was allegedly vandalised in November and on six occasions between April 1 and 16, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

Following a review of CCTV, witness footage and social media, police identified the woman as a suspect.

Officers searched her home on Monday where they allegedly seized items linking the woman to the incidents, including spray paint.

The 32-year-old woman has been charged with seven counts of damaging Commonwealth property.
