South Village Kirrawee terrorised by mystery ‘serial pooper’ flinging human waste from a high-rise balcony
A community in Sydney is on high alert for a ‘serial pooper’ who has reportedly been dumping human waste from a high-rise apartment balcony above a busy shopping centre.
A spate of disturbing incidents at Kirrawee’s South Village stores in the Sutherland Shire have prompted NSW Police to launch an investigation.
Denise Gray turned to a community Facebook page for advice after her car was spattered with human faeces in a ‘disgusting and despicable incident’ last Sunday.
The mother of three was giving her kids a ride at a nearby park one afternoon when she heard something hit the car.
‘There were no other cars passing so I thought maybe I heard wrong,’ he wrote.
‘A few lovely people approached to point out that something had crashed into our car from above. It was human feces.
‘We didn’t see who dropped it, but it looks like they waited until we tried to get in our car.’
Miss Gray alerted staff at a nearby cafe, who warned her to leave before the car was targeted again.

“They said it happens all the time,” Ms Gray added. ‘This incident occurred at 4.30pm on a Sunday afternoon when shops and playgrounds were very busy.
‘I was horrified. ‘I’m actually thankful it didn’t hit me or the kids.’
Ms Gray does not believe the incident near the South Village Apartments was a one-off incident and notes the block is under separate ownership from the Mirvac shopping complex below.
He will now avoid parking near the complex to prevent repeated attacks.
‘I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this happened at the exact moment we got into our car. The action itself seemed deliberate, so why wouldn’t his timing be just as good?’ Miss Gray said news.com.au.
‘My youngest has Down syndrome and although it is completely despicable for anyone to be targeted, there is something about his vulnerability that makes it even more shameful for me.’
Her post was filled with comments from locals recalling similar incidents.
One woman wrote: ‘The same thing happened to my husband and I last weekend.

‘I thought I had upset someone by parking in ‘their’ spot. So disgusting,’ said another.
Others demanded that the shopping mall management, local council and other authorities intervene and arrest the suspects.
Another resident commented, ‘Public health and safety officials needed ASAP.’
Another added: ‘The police need to take this seriously, especially when it happens so often in this area. ‘This is an attack and it is dangerous.’
Some commenters were more sympathetic, questioning whether mental health issues or disability might be contributing factors.
NSW Police launched an investigation after an investigation with central management security confirmed similar incidents had occurred recently.
