Identities of vandals at Grammar schools sought

ACT Policing is seeking to identify two offenders who caused significant criminal damage at Canberra Grammar and Canberra Girls Grammar schools early on the morning of Monday July 9, 2018.

Between 1am and 2am, the offenders caused extensive amounts of damage, breaking more than 100 windows at the two schools, and doing further damage at the Canberra Girls Grammar School Rowing Centre. The windows of school buses at both school campuses were also broken in the incident.

The offenders were captured on CCTV, and police are releasing footage from the attack on the Rowing Centre in an effort to identify them. 

One offender was wearing black Adidas branded tracksuit pants, a black, long-sleeved Nike SB top, and had his face covered by a dark piece of cloth with a lighter pattern. He was wearing a black New York Yankees baseball cap and black Nike shoes.

The second offender was wearing a long-sleeved black top, black tracksuit pants, black shoes, and had their head covered by a lighter-coloured length of material as a makeshift hood.

Both offenders used a baseball bat in the incident.

Police urge anyone with information that could assist in this investigation to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.  

Police would also like to speak with the driver of a vehicle that drove past the Rowing Centre while the incident was taking place. The driver is not believed to be involved in this incident, but they may have seen it, or have other information that could help police. The vehicle, which is also pictured in the CCTV footage, appears to be a blue sports car, possibly a convertible MG.
