A family-run petrol station in Campbelltown has been targeted in a disturbing act of vandalism, leaving the community in shock. Overnight, an unidentified individual defaced the business with anti-Australia graffiti before committing an act of sabotage that could have led to severe consequences.
Graffiti and Dangerous Sabotage
The attack, captured on CCTV footage, shows a man wearing dark clothing and a blue helmet arriving at the petrol station. In addition to spray-painting phrases such as “Die Aussie dogs” and “I hate Aussie, Lebanon all the way” on the business exterior, he used an angle grinder to cut through a fuel hose before fleeing the scene. The damage caused petrol to leak, creating a serious safety hazard for staff and customers.
Business Owners Devastated
The petrol station’s owners, who recently reopened after recovering from a fire and explosion two years ago, expressed their heartbreak over the incident.

In a statement on social media, they condemned the act as a “gutless, cowardly attack” and emphasized their commitment to serving the community despite these challenges.
Community and Police Response
Local residents have rallied behind the business, offering support in the wake of the attack. NSW Police have launched an investigation and are searching for the suspect, described as a man in his 20s or 30s, last seen riding a blue and black trail bike. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Motive Behind the Attack?
With tensions high, the motive behind this act remains unclear. Was it a random act of vandalism, a personal attack, or something more? The incident raises questions about security and community safety.
