A 49-year-old man has been charged in connection with a series of graffiti attacks on luxury vehicles across Sydney, including Surry Hills. The arrest comes after the establishment of Strike Force Opelika to investigate numerous incidents of vehicle vandalism reported this month.
Between August 19 and August 28, 2024, police received 87 reports of vehicles damaged with spray paint while parked on public streets. These incidents spanned multiple police command areas, including Surry Hills, Kings Cross, Eastern Suburbs, and Leichhardt.
Following extensive inquiries and a public appeal, police executed a search warrant at a unit on Pyrmont Bridge Road, Camperdown, at approximately 3 pm on Friday, August 30. The suspect was subsequently arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station.
The man has been charged with 23 counts of destroy or damage property. He was refused bail and is scheduled to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
