A family-run circus performing on Sydney’s Northern Beaches has been left reeling after a series of vandal attacks cost them more than $10,000.

Signs advertising the circus across the northern beaches, including at Warriewood, have been slashed and ripped apart, with dozens dumped in nearby bush.

“This is like record numbers of things, so we just believe we’re a little bit targeted by somebody. Somebody’s got it in for us,” Stardust Circus manager Glenn West said.

The vandalism escalated when a tyre on one of their trucks was found with a knife in it.

“Last week was definitely a losing week for us. And it’s, you know, we’re not this massive, you know, like Cirque du Soleil. We’re just a family, family circus,” West said.

Marketing manager Troy Smith says the attacks have been devastating for the small business.

“It’s just dreadful. Why are people so malicious in attacking a family-owned, operated business?” he said.
