MANUNDA shopkeepers are furious after another senseless attack of vandalism to their storefronts.


Rocks were used to smash glass windows and doors of four businesses on Hoare St, Manunda last night, including Paula Jones` Wedding Treasures.

"I felt like crying when I saw the meaningless vandalism at our shop this morning," she told The Cairns Post.

"We clean off graffiti on a weekly basis."

Locals said that vandals regularly used rocks to smash storefront windows along Hoare St, breaking into a bakery only last month. 

Police are still investigating.

Anyone with further information should contact Cairns police on 4030 7000 or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.


Full report in The Cairns Post tomorrow.
