ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to multiple incidents of vehicle damage that occurred in South Canberra last night (Thursday, April 27).

ACT Policing is responding to reports of more than 50 vehicles that were broken into and damaged in Narrabundah, Kingston, Garran and Griffith.

As a result of these break-ins multiple personal belongings were stolen.

Officer in Charge of Woden Police Station, Station Sergeant Harry Hains said if your vehicle was damaged and you have yet to report it to police then we encourage you to do so by calling Police Operations on 131 444.

“The damage to vehicles combined with the personal property stolen has affected many members of the community in Narrabundah, Kingston, Garran and Griffith,” Station Sergeant Hains said.

“It is very distressing for the victims to find their vehicles and property damaged and personal belongs stolen.”

“We are asking that those people that have reported their vehicles damaged remain patient, police have a high volume of incidents to investigate.”

Police are once again urging motor vehicle owners not to leave personal belongings within their vehicles.

“Vehicle break-ins are often opportunistic crimes. Even when your car is locked, it’s not impenetrable; take the time to secure it and don’t leave personal belongings within your car or insight,” Station Sergeant Hains said.

Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information that could assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference P1558813. Information can be provided anonymously.
