Police Looking for Witnesses After Steel Bolt Shot at Car in Belmont

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Investigations are continuing into an incident over the weekend in Lake Macquarie where a bolt was fired through the rear window of a car.

Police have been told that just before 7pm on Friday (9th September 2017), a Subaru Station Wagon was travelling south along the Pacific Highway at Belmont between Evans Street and Hitchcock Avenue when the driver and his passenger heard a loud bang.

The two 27-year-old's discovered a hole in the rear window of the car, which had also shattered.

They reported the incident at Belmont Police Station and when police looked at the car they found a steel bolt.

Inquiries are continuing and detectives from the Lake Macquarie Local Area Command would like to speak to anyone who was on the Pacific Highway around the time of the incident.

They would particularly like to speak to the rider of a red, white and blue motorbike.
