Police in Wanaka are treating an incident where two letterboxes were damaged and defecated in as a targeted attack. Acting Senior Sergeant Steve Watt, of Wanaka, said police believed the vandalism was targeted and there were a number of leads being followed. ''Certainly seems like a personalised attack which had the intent of distressing the occupant at the address.'' Charges the offender could face included wilful damage and offensive behaviour, but it all depended on the investigation, he said. ''The starting point would be intentional damage and we would assess from there what else it could come to, and you could be looking at wilful damage or offensive behaviour, but it's hard to say at this point.''
