A TOURIST to Stanthorpe's biennial Apple and Grape festival was shocked to find herself a target of a spate of vandalism attaks on the Granite Belt.

Rebecca Streat said she and husband Charlie made the drive from their Brisbane home on Saturday to kick back and enjoy the Apple and Grape festivities.

"We went out for breakfast on Sunday morning and as we were walking back we looked at the car and noticed it was on an angle," Mrs Streat said.

"We had a closer look and three of our tyres were flat and had been slashed on purpose.

"We had such a great weekend and it was such a shame that people could do something like this." Police are urging residents who may have information on the incident to come forward.

Stanthorpe Senior Sergeant Gerard Brady said he hoped the offence was a "one-off".

"Police are unsure what's behind it.

"The victim was from out of town so we don't believe it was targeted and hope this was a random attack," Sen-Sgt Brady said.

The Vines Motel & Cottages owner Jaclyn Slack said the incident had fuelled her to install more CCTV footage on her property.

"It's just embarrassing," Ms Slack said.

"It strikes me as something kids would do on some stupid dare. "I've got four cameras in already but I'm going to spend more money on installing more.

"It is so unfortunate that it has come to this." The Vines Motel & Cottages wasn't the only area targeted on Saturday night, with Stanthorpe Golf Course copping a blow from vandals.

Groundskeeper Bill Pyne said he woke on Sunday to find one of the signs ripped from the framework.

"The police can only do so much. This is just a random act of stupidly," Mr Pyne said.

"It's cost the club and makes our lives very difficult.

"It's the inconvenience of it." Sen-Sgt Brady said if anybody had any information on either incident to come forward and report it to police.

"No matter how big or small, all incidents should be reported to police," he said."That way we can be patrolling the right area at the right time."
