A man has been charged with using a traffic cone to cause about $100,000 worth of damage to 35 cars at the Star Casino in Sydney.
Police allege the man first damaged the casino's carpark boom gate in Pyrmont at around 3.50am today before targeting dozens of unoccupied cars inside.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers set up a crime scene and began an investigation.

They found the man nearby and arrested him after a foot chase.
The 42-year-old man was taken to Day Street Police Station where he was charged with 37 counts of destroying or damaging property.
He was refused bail and will face the Downing Centre Local Court later today.
Police will allege in court the estimated value of the damages is about $100,000.
In a short statement, Star Casino said the incident was "isolated".
"We note that the damage to cars caused this morning at the Star Sydney is an isolated incident, and as this matter is now subject to a police investigation we will not be making any further statement," a Star Casino spokesperson said.
