- They would also have left gaping holes in walls
A young couple’s dream house has become their nightmare after the newly built home was vandalized by teenage hooligans.
Every window was smashed and nearly every wall was left with gaping walls at the property in Mango Hill, north of Brisbane.
The vandals raided the home over the Labor Day long weekend, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Black, white, and red spray paint covered the kitchen bench, walls, and floors, illegible nearly every surface.
The homeowner – who declined to be named – told the story 7News “It’s been a tough few days,” and they don’t know if they feel safe going into the area anymore.
“My partner can’t even come and look at the house because it’s so devastating,” they said.
“The images indicate that they are in the youth category and that is absolutely ridiculous. There is no accountability.
“We are now at a breaking point as to what we should do as a community to stop these people.

The couple was due to move in next month and the house has been under construction since September.
Neighbors say the new estate has been repeatedly targeted by vandals with multiple sites defaced.
It comes as just one suburb above Emma Lovell, 41, died last year as she and her husband defended their North Lakes home from teens.
She was fatally stabbed in her home on Boxing Day, reportedly by two teenage intruders.
Queensland Police said it is investigating the incident.
