Photo: ODT FilePolice have been performing covert operations and stepping up their presence in Bishopdale in a bid to catch people throwing rocks through windows. Senior Sergeant Roy Appley said police have been patrolling the suburb and undertaking “covert and overt operations” for the past two weeks after seven reports of windows being smashed with rocks. On Sunday a 94-year-old woman had two rocks thrown through her window on Harewood Rd. Concerns have been raised on the Bishopdale Community Group Facebook page after two thefts were reported last weekend. If we make it harder [for potential thieves], these events may be less likely to happen,” Senior Sergeant Appley said.
