Police are investigating the vandalising of several signs and shopfronts in the Todd Street Mall over the weekend.
Watch Commander Siiri Tennosaar said two males aged 19 and 21 have been spoken to by police.
“Police have been cataloguing the damage which stretches from Todd Street, through the Mall to near the corner of Parsons Street and Leichhardt Terrace.
“Charges of unlawfully damaging property are likely on completion of our inquiries. This is not a victimless crime and offenders can expect to be prosecuted if they continue to disrespect property in this manner,” said Commander Tennosaar.
Victims should report the vandalism on 131 444. – Police release.
