BY MADELAINE MCNEILL

Police have released images and CCTV footage as they continue to investigate a malicious damage incident at Lambton earlier this year.

Sometime between 10.30pm, Saturday 23 March and 4.30am, Monday 25 March, an unknown number of people entered a smash repairs business on Griffiths Road and damaged several cars.

The offenders smashed windows, dented panels and spread paint throughout the vehicle’s interiors causing an estimate of more than $150 thousand dollars in damage.

Officers from Newcastle City Police District commenced investigations through Strike Force Nanes and have now released footage of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries.

Police believe more than one person may be involved in the incident.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Waratah Police Station directly on (02) 4926 6599 or to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The footage is available on the 2nurfm Hunter News Facebook page.
