Senseless vandalism at Springfield

Significant vandalism has destroyed public toilets in Terry Oval at Springfield and the community is being called upon to help apprehend the vandals by reporting any witnessed antisocial behaviour or vandalism to police or Crime Stoppers.

The senseless vandalism occurred during the school holiday period and has forced the full closure of the amenities, including the disabled toilets.

The vandalism included smashing all toilet bowls with large rocks, ripping sinks off the wall and smashing plumbing.

Central Coast Council’s Facebook page said mindless attacks such as these cost ratepayers money, Council staff time and disrupt the availability of these facilities for public and visitors on the Coast.

“The cost of repairing these will be approximately $10,000, with repair works commencing shortly, and hopefully completed by mid-May” the Facebook post said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000 or online https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/

Any crimes in progress should be reported immediately by phoning 000 (triple zero).

Community members can also report to Council damage to public toilets, sports facilities, community recreation spaces and facilities by calling customer service on 4309 7900, or via our online customer service centre.
