A man has been arrested over a series of damage to vehicles on or near Geelong’s waterfront.
Police allege a man stomped on cars and threw rocks at passing vehicles between The Esplanade and Cavendish Street sometime between 5am and 6am Sunday.
Nine vehicles were damaged in the incident.
Officers conducted a search warrant in North Shore early Wednesday morning, arresting a 34-year-old, and recovering several items including clothing.
The man has since been charged with criminal damage and bailed to face the Geelong Magistrates Court in October.
Senior Sergeant Aaron Riches said they believed alcohol was a factor.
“We’re now seeking to understand if the irresponsible service of alcohol at a licensed premises played a part,” he said.
“We also wish to speak with anyone that saw a male wearing black and walking with a female between Cavendish Street and The Esplanade or Corio Quay Road at about 6.30am Sunday.”
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
