Traffic camera vehicle damaged

Police are investigating after a traffic camera vehicle was damaged in Sunbury last year.

In an announcement on January 26, Victoria Police said investigators have been told the vehicle was operating in Wilsons Lane about 5pm on November 30.

A man approached the car from Carter Road and jumped onto the bonnet of the vehicle and climbed onto the roof, police said.

He allegedly jumped up and down a number of times before climbing down and spray painting the rear window with pink paint.

The male then produced a hammer and attempted to smash the vehicle’s windows and smashed a front headlight, police said.

He then left and was last seen headed towards Marjorie Avenue. The driver of the car, a 43-year-old man, was not injured in the incident.

Police said the offender is perceived to be Caucasian, about 187cm tall and was wearing a black face mask, black t-shirt, shorts and brown work boots.

Investigators have released CCTV and images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquires.
