Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct was vandalised over the weekend causing thousands worth of damage to machinery and equipment.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Dinny Adem said “it is really disappointing to hear about the vandalism that occurred to equipment and machinery while work is happening at the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct”.
“We are building a $19m sporting facility for the community to enjoy, but a selected few members of our community are causing damage that could cause delays to work if equipment and machinery is not able to be used,” said Cr Adem.
“Council is building this amazing regional sports precinct for everyone to enjoy, however it’s disheartening to know that some people are putting this at risk. We are asking the community to be vigilant and if they do see anything to please contact the police,” said Cr Adem.
Anyone with information about the vandalism please contact Crime Stoppers Victoria call 1800 333 000 or the Shepparton Police.
