Police are appealing for public assistance after a police vehicle was damaged in the state's north west yesterday.
About 1.30pm (Saturday 12 February 2022), an unmarked police vehicle was travelling westbound on Arthur Street, Walgett, about 300 metres west of the intersection of Myall Street, when the vehicle was hit with unknown objects.
The vehicle sustained minor damage to the driver's side door and window.
The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle – a male detective senior constable - stopped the vehicle and observed two motorcycles accelerating away from the area.
As inquiries continue into the circumstances surrounding the incident, officers attached to Central North Police District have released details of two males they believe may be able to assist their investigation.
Both males are described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, 16 to 18 years old, with a thin build.
One was wearing a black hat, black face mask, red shirt and black shorts, riding a blue and white Yamaha motorcycle.
The second was wearing a light-coloured hat, face mask and a light-coloured coloured shirt, riding a yellow and white motorcycle. Police believe it may have been a Suzuki.
Police believe the same motorcycles were seen riding near Alex Trevallion Park and the Walgett Cemetery near Castlereagh Highway, Walgett, and on Montkeila Street, Walgett, around 2pm on Friday 11 February 2022 and Saturday 12 February 2022.
Anyone with information or dashcam from those areas around that time is urged to contact Walgett Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
