Shop window smashed in one of many damage incidents

Wednesday November 25, 2009

Window broken
Police are appealing for information about an incident where a plate glass window was smashed at a vacant Marshall Street business in the early hours of Saturday morning, one of a number of incidents of damage over the past week..

Two males were taken to hospital and a vacant shop window was damaged after a fight in Marshall Street in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Witnesses observed the two males fighting between 2am and 2.15am on Saturday with one male reportedly smashing the window of a vacant shop.

The matter was reported to police, who attended a short time later and discovered both males injured.

Both were conveyed by ambulance to Cobar Hospital, with one suffering lacerations to his arm.

Sergeant Greg Woolfe said police investigations are continuing with a number of witnesses being interviewed.

“Police are also calling for any other witnesses to the incident to come forward,” he said.

A shop window at another business in Marshall Street was also smashed last week.

The damage occurred between 5.30pm last Wednesday and 8.50am last Thursday.

Sergeant Woolfe said police hope to view CCTV from nearby businesses and are also appealing for witnesses to the incident.

Police are also investigating an incident of malicious damage where the aerial on a ute parked in Snelson Street was broken.

The incident occurred between midnight and 7am on Saturday.

Any witnesses to the incident are urged to contact Cobar Police.
