OFFENDERS have damaged property in a Leitchville public toilet and stolen coins.

The incident happened between September 20 and 22.


POLICE are investigating two fires in Leitchville.

About 4.30pm on September 17, CFA and police went to a property on Hornsby Road where a burn-off had got out of control. There was minor damage to a power pole.
