Cars travelling on the Monash Freeway were damaged after a plastic chair, bags of flour and eggs were thrown from a footbridge at Narre Warren early on 5 May.
Police say the projectiles were flung from the Prospect Hill Road footbridge between Magid Drive and Josephine Avenue about 12.15am.
No cars were directly struck but at least two were damaged after driving over the items on the road.
The area has been a hotspot of trouble, say Prospect Hill Road residents.
One of the residents on the eastern side of the footbridge said she heard music “like a party” on the western side on the night.
“Also some cars came into our court. One did a bloody burnout.
“I was in bed and my bedroom stunk of rubber.”
Recently the residents successfully campaigned for the closure of the turnbowl east of the footbridge due to persistent hooning and vandalism.
Casey Council resolved last month to implement a trial closure of the turnbowl at a cost of about $3000.
Three weeks later, residents say they have not yet been formally notified by the decision.
