Vandalism hits building sites

BERWICK builder Matthew Fox has put out a warning to anyone who trespasses on his building sites… we’ll be watching.
Mr Fox said there had been an increase in vandalism on building sites, particularly in Pakenham in recent weeks.
“I’m just frustrated, they keep coming onto our jobs, smashing copper, turning water on and flooding sites,” he said.
“We get there the next day and its just a mess.”
He said he was not the only builder who was being affected by these acts of vandalism.
“It’s happening everywhere, we have asked police to up their patrols and we have a security company patrolling our sites during the night,” he said.
“These kids just need to know that we will be watching – neighbours have been informed and police will be called if anyone walks onto the site without permission.”
