Police are seeking public information as part of the ongoing investigation into projectiles discharged in Southern Tasmania earlier this week. 

“As part of the ongoing police investigation, we have determined that ball bearings were discharged from a white Mitsubishi light truck and a white Nissan Patrol utility across the greater Hobart area,” said Sergeant Greg Rogers.

At this stage police have received reports of ball bearings damaging ten homes, four vehicles and six businesses in the areas of Glenorchy, Cambridge, Hobart and Kingston on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“There was potential for significant harm to have been caused in these incidents.”

“Everyone has the right to be safe in our community, and this dangerous behaviour is concerning.”

“While police are following a specific line of enquiry with the investigation, Taskforce Saturate encourages anyone with information in relation to the discharges to come forward.”

Anyone with information that would assist the investigation is asked to contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers Tasmania at crimestopperstas.com.au or on 1800 333 000 – quote OR747450 (info can be provided anonymously).
