Drive-by egging
Passengers of a white Holden Commodore pelted businesses along Glen Innes' main street with eggs on Friday, police allege.
At around 11.50pm on Friday night unknown assailants egged Grey street, police say.
Police say the alleged attack caused a mess. But aside from the cost of cleaning the attack left Glen Innes business undamaged. No windows were broken, they said.
But it's still a crime.
Police are investigating the incident using CCTV but as of time of print have no suspects or known motive.
They're appealing for anyone who have information about the alleged incident.
