A man will face Newcastle court today after two offices in Sydney were allegedly damaged by graffiti.

About 4am Thursday (25 July 2024), police were called to a building on Harris Street, Ultimo, following reports the building had been graffitied.

About 25 minutes later, a man allegedly sprayed graffiti on an office on Hordern Place, Camperdown.

Following a joint investigation by officers from Sydney City and Inner West Police Area Commands, police arrested a 46-year-old man at Dunolly, in the Upper Hunter, about 11.45am yesterday (Friday 26 July 2024).

He was taken to Singleton Police Station where he was charged with intentionally mark premises without consent, drive whilst suspended, three counts of face blackened/disguised with intent to commit an indictable offence, and attempt stalk/intimidate intend fear of harm.

Police then executed a search warrant on a property in the Hunter Valley and seized items which officers will allege in court to be connected to the incidents at Ultimo and Campberdown.

The man has been refused bail to appear before Newcastle Local Court today (Saturday 27 July 2024).
