WEST: Fires linked to corruption probe
Detectives from Taskforce Hawk have released CCTV footage as part of their investigation into two fires earlier this year in Maribyrnong and Derrimut.
The first fire occurred outside a residential property on Scenic Drive, Maribyrnong, on April 6.
Two vehicles at the address were set alight shortly after 1.30am.
The CCTV shows two offenders dousing the vehicles in accelerant before setting them alight.
The residence was not damaged and the family inside the address was not physically injured.
The second fire occurred at a factory in Derrimut on May 27.
Emergency services were called to the Calarco Drive business about 5.35am after a member of the public spotted the building fire.
It is believed that offenders have forced entry into an office area, spread accelerant throughout, then set the building alight.
It is believed the offenders then left the area in a silver Lexus SUV.
