A gas leak has forced the evacuation of two homes at Kurri Kurri this morning.
Firefighters were called to Hampden Street just after 2.30am on Wednesday, where there was a strong smell of gas coming from one of the homes.
Police say it appears someone has deliberately damaged the pipe work next to a gas meter attached to a house.
A gas company crew was called and the damage repaired, with the residents allow to return to the homes at about 3.30am.
