Two cars torched and a home in the exclusive Sydney suburb of Dover Heights is spray painted in yet another suspected anti-Semitic incident
At least two cars in an affluent Sydney suburb have been spray-painted and torched in yet another suspected anti-Semitic attack to hit the city.
Multiple cars parked on Military Road in Dover Heights were spray painted with anti-Semitic slogans and two were set alight set alight around 4am.
A home in the exclusive eastern suburbs neighbourhood, where the average house price is over $5million, was also splashed with red paint.
Residents were awoken by a loud bang before coming out to see the flames engulfing the vehicles.
One resident claimed to Sunrise it was a case of ‘mistaken identity’ because the residents who live at the home that was targeted are not Jewish.
A crime scene has been established and police are calling on any witnesses to come forward.
‘Officers attached to Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command are investigating after a number of vehicles were sprayed with graffiti, two vehicles were set alight, and a house was splashed with paint on Military Road, Dover Heights,’ a spokesperson for NSW Police said.
‘The NSW Police Force takes hate crimes seriously and encourages anyone who is the victim of a hate crime of witnesses a hate crime to report the matter to police through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or through Triple Zero (000).’
More to come.
