One of the two speed cameras erected on the sides of the R40 road between Rocky’s Drift and White River was bombed last night.
A traffic officer found on the scene this morning says the camera was petrol bombed as an empty bottle and screw drivers were found lying nearby.
He said that a case of malicious damage to property was reported at the White River police station.
Eye witnesses also sent pictures of another container of petrol and two toolbars which were found lying next to the second camera on the other side of the road.
