Cars And Property Allegedly Damaged During Drug-Fuelled Rampage At Lambton

 BY IAN CROUCH

A man is due to front court today (Thursday 29 May, 2025) after going on a drug-fuelled rampage at Lambton overnight.

Police say a security guard reported the man dressed only in his underwear damaging several cars outside a business on Wyong Road just before 9.00pm on Wednesday.

It's alleged the man also jumped on the roof of the security guard's Toyota Yaris.

Police say 4 vehicles and an air conditioner were left with a damage bill running to $15,000.

Police arrested a 25-year-old man at the scene, who they say was heavily drug-affected and bleeding, and took him to the Mater Hospital for treatment and observation.

He's expected to be charged with destroying and damaging property and will face Newcastle Local Court today.
