Police in Perth are looking for a gang that is suspected of going on a smash-and-grab spree through the northern suburbs of the city.
As police look into whether the crew is connected to another crime wave, nine businesses were targeted over the course of the night.
At the Royal Taj Indian restaurant in Woodvale, they were seen flipping tables and breaking plates.
The footage was described as “senseless” by the owner Renit Kumar.
Just after 2am, the trio forced their way into four more stores at Woodvale Shopping Centre.
Avoka Cafe, Woodvale Fish and Chips, Tenaj Hair Design, and Woody’s Pizza were all popular.
After the destruction, Nick Song from the cafe stated he’ll have to “start again.”
Despite having access to cash and other valuables, the gang seemed to depart the majority of the businesses empty handed.
The door to Ming’s Bakery was kicked in ten minutes after they began their initial rampage on the other side of the shopping area.
Before leaving empty-handed, four people were observed trashing the store.
Later, they fled after being startled by nearby workers.
Owner Sandy Martin reportedly felt “sick and quite violated” as a result.
Martin remarked, “The impact is fairly severe and not what you want for a small firm.
Three masked intruders utilised a tram to break into Smoke Mart in Beldon around 1.40 in the morning, sparking the commencement of the rampage.
They moved on to Chantilly Hair and Distrykt Coffee down the street after waiting five minutes.
They then travelled 4 kilometres to Woodvale, where they primarily caused damage.
