Washington Street window smashed

The unoccupied Kowloon Kitchen building on Washington Street was damaged on Sunday.

Police reported that sometime on Sunday, October 1, the front window of the business was smashed.

The incident is being investigated and anyone who witnessed the event, or has information that may assist with the investigation, is asked to contact the Port Lincoln Police Station.

Kowloon Kitchen ceased trading earlier this year and the building has since remained unoccupied.
