"To deface a memorial that commemorates police officers who have served the state, and those who have lost their lives while on duty, is the lowest of the low," he said.

Anybody with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage in relation to the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
