Vandals damage suburb vehicles

Vehicles parked on the street in Nahoon and Bonnie Doon have been targeted by vandals who have gone on a spree of shattering windscreens and windows with bricks and golf clubs.

Various posts on Facebook crime sites said there had been up to seven such attacks on cars in the greater Nahoon area in the early hours of yesterday morning. Brett Harvey of Red Alert could confirm his officers responded to two.

Police also confirmed the attacks saying that four cases of malicious damage to property in Nahoon, Bonnie Doon, Stirling and Bunkers Hill had been opened at the Cambridge police station since November 4.

Police spokesman Captain Mluleki Mbi said it was “too early to tell” what motivated the vandalism.

Kirstie Leigh Voogt, 22, was visiting her boyfriend's house in Cecil Lloyd Street, Stirling when she heard a noise at 2am thismorning that sounded like gunshots. She saw two vehicles speed off leaving her Honda Jazz “Gabby” with smashed windows and windscreen. She said neighbours had seen a BMW X5 and a black Bantam bakkie pull up outside the house and four men smash her car with golf clubs.
