They also used a second, smaller digger to damage concrete foundations laid for a complex of 80 apartments also being built on the DDL Homes site. DDL Homes owner Baljit Dheil said the seven townhouses attached to the smashed home appeared not to have been damaged. The damaged home had also been just one month away from being handed over to its new owners. The vandals next started the 20-tonne digger about 3.30am and tore apart the townhouse. She had no idea who the vandals were or how they started the digger.
