A family member who asked to be referred as Jackson is hoping that the vandals will stop attacking him and his family.
'We really hope these people can stop from here and nothing will happen in the future,' he told 7NEWS.
Police believe the same group of people are behind the racist attacks on the innocent family.
'Everyone should be safe in their own home and unfortunately for our victim, this has occurred on three separate occasions,' Detective Sargeant Daniel Taylor said.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews branded the attack as 'evil' and as 'awful behaviour'.
'There's no place in our Victorian community for that sort of conduct,' he said.
'At a time when we should be coming together and supporting each other, it needs to be called out for what it is. It's just appalling, absolutely appalling.'
Jackson said the family planned to install security cameras in hopes of finding the perpetrators.
'I'm just scared. I'm busy buying CCTV systems, repairing glass and buying lamps,' Jackson told the ABC after the initial attack.
'I'm afraid these people will come back.'

The incident is the latest in a string of racist attacks on people of Chinese heritage over the spread of the coronavirus.

Daniel Palmer who lives in the street shared the pictures online.
'Week 2 of isolation: This s*** on my road in front of an Asian household in f***ing Epping,' he captioned the images.
'S*** like this lurks beneath the surface in society, and you usually only notice it if you're ethnic when it creeps out in small bite-sized chunks.'
In Kyabram, north of Melbourne, Chinese and Nazi swastika flags were seen flown from a communications tower as part of an alleged racial attack.
