The 53-year-old was arrested early on Friday after police received reports from victims whose cars were targeted between February and June.
Initially, police had only three confirmed cases until users on a Chinese-language forum speculated the attacks were racially motivated and formed a group to encourage more victims to come forward.
Vehicles at carparks in Macquarie University and Macquarie Park shopping centre were damaged over a four-month period.
Superintendent Stephen Egginton said the man was identified with the help of photographs taken by a victim.
“We were able to identify the offender as being a bus driver and that linked into the times of the offences across the areas where they occurred,” he told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
“It’s important members of the community feel they can report these matters to us, because the early indications were that there was a reluctance from some … to come forward.”
