A person caught on fire during a robbery and fire in Melbourne.
Last night in the bustling inner suburbs of Melbourne, a shocking incident occurred at a business on Lygon Street. It is suspected that an unknown individual unintentionally ignited themselves in a frantic series of events involving a ram raid and fire. According to authorities, the chaos began around 2:55 am when a group of offenders used a stolen black BMW X5 to forcefully crash through the garage door of a cycling store.

The violent ramming was not a one-time occurrence, as the group reportedly made several attempts before finally abandoning the stolen vehicle and entering the store. It is believed that the repeated forceful impacts caused a fire to break out inside the business, causing significant damage. Shocked witnesses on the scene claimed to have seen one of the offenders fleeing with their arm engulfed in flames.

In a desperate attempt to escape, the group fled on foot towards Nicholson Street, leaving the stolen car behind. The store where the incident took place was not the only victim of the rampage, as a nearby business also suffered significant damage. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the BMW used in the crime was stolen from a residence in Heatherton on October 3rd.

As authorities continue their investigation, a crime scene has been established at the scene of the crime. The unpredictable and reckless actions of the offenders have caused chaos and destruction, and the community is urged to come forward with any information that may lead to the apprehension of those responsible. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
