The group of five, described by eyewitnesses to be two taller teenagers and three shorter, have reportedly been throwing rocks at cars near the Gunnedah Town Hall.
It's believed they may have turned on all the taps in the bathroom at Wolseley Oval in an attempt to flood it.
Police believe the incidents are connected and "more than likely" committed by the same group of teens.

"Just a heads up for everyone there is five young teenagers, two taller teens and three shorter who have just rocked and damaged my car while my dad was driving around the round about at the town hall around 8pm. They have run into Wolseley Park and vanished. Police have been notified," Luce McCoy wrote on Tuesday night.
Bob Mc said his daughter's car was hit at the roundabout.
"My daughter's car was damaged earlier tonight, 8pm, by a rock or lump of concrete thrown by one of five young cowards, near the town hall roundabout," he posted on Tuesday night.
"When approached, these little heroes took off in all directions, with the three smaller fools, running off at the mouth big time."
He said one of the boys was wearing a pink or orange coloured top with white print and a smaller boy had dark, curly hair.
