| Police are trying to track down a man who repeatedly smashed a Multanova against a Swanbourne lamp post on December 30.
Police Media's Ros Weatherall said the vandalism occurred about 4.50pm.
"One of our camera operators was monitoring northbound traffic on the West Coast Highway adjacent to Swansea street in Swanbourne," Ms Weatherall said.
"He's seen a man standing nearby at a bus stop paying attention to the Multanova and kept an eye on him because he appeared suspicious.
"The man walked to the Multanova, disconnected the battery to the camera, before picking the Multanova up and repeatedly smashing it against the lamp post."
Ms Weatherall said the man fled along West Coast Highway before running down Lynton Street.
She said the Multanova was destroyed and would cost taxpayers $200,000 to replace.
The man had tanned skin, was between 35 and 40 years old, was 178cm tall, of solid build, and had short shaved hair. He was wearing a white tank top and dark shorts.
