Sydney vandal arrested after 29 cars covered in graffiti

A man has been arrested after 29 vehicles were sprayed with graffiti during a two-day rampage in Sydney’s west.

Between 7pm on Sunday and 6am on Monday, a mindless vandal targeted cars parked in streets in Fairfield Heights and Fairfield West.

A number of vehicles also had their tyres slashed and one home had as many as four vehicles vandalised, 9 News reported. 

Throughout Fairfield Heights and Fairfield West a total of 29 cars were hit – one home had four vehicles targeted 

A number of vehicles also had their tyres slashed as well as the tagging which included wavy lines across windows and side panels 

One vehicle had its licence plate blacked out while others were drawn on with wavy lines across windows and side panels.  

Police had been hunting the offender behind the October 22-23 spree, as well a rampage the previous week when a number of cars were tagged in the same area and Smithfield. 

A 24-year-old man was arrested following a search of a Bass Hill home on Friday morning and taken to Fairfield police station to assist police with their inquiries.

Victor Fenech, a member of the Rotary Club of Liverpool Greenway and the Graffiti Removal Day co-ordinator for Fairfield, Liverpool and Bankstown, told Newscorp preventative measures needed to be put in places. 

‘Restricting the sale of spray cans so they don’t fall into the hands of the wrong people, particularly juveniles, is probably warranted,’ Mr Fenech said.
