A woman has recently found herself in some legal trouble after being accused by the police of setting her own bakery on fire in Western Australia in an attempt to collect insurance money. This shocking incident occurred at a bakery located in Spender Park, Albany, on a Saturday afternoon in October. The fire broke out around 2:10pm and although firefighters were able to put it out, the damage to the building's structure, roof, and smoke damage was quite significant.
According to reports, the estimated cost of the damage was a staggering $955,000. However, that was not the end of the story. Detectives investigating the incident have alleged that the 50-year-old woman intentionally started the fire and then proceeded to file an insurance claim just a few days later. This has raised suspicions that she may have been planning this all along.
It has also been revealed that the woman's insurance policy stated that she was entitled to $500,000 for contents insurance, as well as an additional $2.2 million to compensate for any lost business. This has only added to the suspicions and further investigation into the matter. The woman has been scheduled to appear in court on December 12 to face the charges against her.
