Vandals have had a busy night at Belmont, leaving a trail of destruction throughout the town centre.
Vehicles and homes have been found covered with spray paint and graffiti tags on Thursday morning, February 8, with the area around the Coles shopping centre - including Sharp Street and Maude Street - reportedly heavily targeted.
Joseph Tierney said his wife was "so upset" to find a blue line had been sprayed across multiple panels of her car.
"I hope [police] get whoever is responsible for the damage," he said.
Martin Guffogg went out at about 8.30pm on Wednesday and returned at 10.30pm to find a large tag had been spray painted on his garage door.
"It's just frustrating that us hard workers can try to live our lives day-to-day and come home from a shift, or wake up to someone having damaged our property or possessions we have worked hard for," he told the Herald.
"And those that have done this will most likely get away with it scot-free, and for us, we now have to pay for it or go through hoops and hurdles to get the damage fixed."
A spokesperson for Lake Macquarie police said, as of late Thursday morning, investigators had only received reports related to two of the damaged vehicles at Belmont - at Maude Street and Brooks Parade.
Police are calling for anyone who has not reported damaged property to contact them.
- Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.
