MORE than 30 cars had their windscreens smashed and panels damaged in a spate of vandalism attacks in north-west suburbs overnight.
Police said the separate incidents happened in the early hours of this morning in Hillside, Caroline Springs, Taylors Hill and Sydenham.
Caroline Springs’ Sergeant Paul Allen said police were in the process of investigating each individual case.
‘‘None of the attacks were in the same street which lead us to believe there may have been more than one offender,’’ he said.
Sergeant Allen said more than 30 cars had their windscreens shattered, and in some cases metal panels had been dented or scratched.
A Brimbank resident who wished to be known only as Emily, said she woke to find the windscreen of her car, parked in Holland Way in Caroline Springs, completely smashed.
‘‘I’ve been staying at my boyfriend’s house in Caroline Springs for three years and nothing like this has ever happened before,’’ she said. ‘‘We have spoken to neighbours and it seems that cars that were parked closer to homes weren’t touched, while the ones parked on the street were targeted.’’
Her boyfriend’s car, which was parked metres away in the driveway, was untouched.
Sergeant Allen said police were investigating and appealed for anyone with any information to contact the Caroline Springs police on 93614700 or Crime Stoppers on 1800333000.
