Vandals attack Vic wheat storage facility

Vandals have caused up to $65,000 damage at a wheat storage facility in central Victoria.

Workers found vandals had slashed heavy-duty tarpaulins protecting a large stack of wheat at Dunolly, west of Bendigo, early on Thursday, police said.

Damage to the slashed tarpaulins is estimated at $40,000 while another $20,000 to $25,0000 worth of wheat was lost as rain leaked into the $1.5 million wheat stack.

Local police are investigating.
