A man will face court next month after he allegedly damaged a toilet block near Redhead Beach.

Police will allege the man stole aerosol cans from a local supermarket at The Junction about 8pm on Tuesday 28 June 2016.

He later walked to Redhead Beach and allegedly used the stolen items to set fire to a disabled toilet block.

The man then fled the scene.

Police from Lake Macquarie Local Area Command were called to the location and commenced investigations.

Following ongoing inquiries into the incident, investigators attended a home in Windale about 10.30am today (Wednesday 7 July 2016), where they arrested a 20-year-old man.

He was taken to Belmont Police Station where he was charged with maliciously damage property, and shoplifting.

The man was granted conditional bail and will appear in Belmont Local Court on Wednesday 24 August 2016.
