Clarkson Police Senior Sergeant Mal Jones said police would increase patrols around Quinns Rocks Primary School after vehicles dug up the lawn overnight on August 19-20 and 20-21.

‘The tracks look like they belong to a small vehicle,’ Sgt Jones said.

Principal John Nowicki said the damage was a shame, and the school needed a fence to keep vandals out.

‘Some hoons have ripped up our lawn ” the brand new lawn has been torn up,’ he said.

Sgt Jones said vandals also targeted Irene McCormack Catholic College overnight on August 19-20, smashing six windows with rocks, and the previous week, shade sails were damaged at Mindarie Senior College.
