Angelo Perperiadis’ fish and chips shop was vandalised in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The perpetrators, believed to be juveniles, stole money, a till tray and four bottles of Coke.

However the damage to the window panel ran into hundreds of dollars. It is the latest in a series of break-ins which have plagued the businessman who also operates a fresh food outlet.

“I can’t put up with this anymore,” said Angelo.

“First of all my business was ruined by the Government’s Income Management Plan and now my spirit has been ruined by thieves,” he said.

“I don’t want to know about Tennant Creek anymore.”

Plant and stock from Angelo’s shop which he opened last year has been advertised for auction.

Now he plans to put his home on the market too.

“I’m going somewhere where I don’t have to worry anymore,” he said.

“Then I’ll be able to enjoy my life.”
