A group of four people smashed up two parked cars in Blenheim on Saturday, using wheel braces and hammers, police say.
Constable Michelle Stagg, of Blenheim, said a 17-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man were arrested on Sunday after allegedly smashing two motor vehicles parked at a Litchfield St address on Saturday morning.
Police inquiries were continuing about the two others believed to have been involved in the incident.
The group knew the owner of the cars, but police did not know why they wanted to damage them, Miss Stagg said.
The vehicles were "pretty extensively" damaged, including all the windows being smashed.
A member of the public alerted police to the identity of two of the four involved in the incident after recognising the woman and taking down the registration number of the car used.
The pair were to appear in Blenheim District Court charged with burglary and aggravated burglary.
A 38-year-old unemployed man who allegedly stole a Sky satellite dish from his friend's house was arrested on Friday afternoon.
Miss Stagg said the accused was helping his friend move from a house in Hiley St and thought he would "help himself" to the satellite dish.
He appeared in the Blenheim District Court on Saturday and was released on bail.
And a man who allegedly punched his partner in the head and kicked her in the mouth was arrested at 10pm on Friday.
Miss Stagg said police were called to a domestic incident at Burden St.
A 24-year-old plasterer was drinking at his partner's house. When his partner tried to put him to bed when he became intoxicated he "lashed out" and punched her in the face and kicked her, Miss Stagg said.
The man appeared in the Blenheim District Court on Saturday morning charged with assaulting a female and was released on bail.
An 18-year-old male cleaner who allegedly punched his ex-partner in the face in Market St at 2am on Saturday was "extremely intoxicated", police say.
Miss Stagg said the pair got involved in an argument outside Stirling Sports and the man allegedly punched the woman in the face. She suffered a large cut inside her mouth.
The man appeared in Blenheim District Court on Saturday morning and was released on bail.
