A neighbouring homeware and gift store business, Mr & Dac, was broken into and trashed just days earlier.
“Our beautiful shop next door got broken into and smashed to pieces last week, and now this!” Mr & Dac posted on social media.
NSW Police is also calling for anyone with CCTV footage or knowledge to call Leeton Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
