In the early hours of February 17, a car yard in Melbourne's south-east was hit by two separate fires, causing a whopping $1 million worth of damage. It all started around 1:30am, when the first fire broke out at the business on Kirkham Road in Dandenong South. According to authorities, a group of individuals arrived in a black Audi sedan and forced their way into the yard.
As the investigation unfolded, it was discovered that the offenders were responsible for igniting a fire in the cabin of a semi-trailer. This caused two nearby trucks to also catch fire, ultimately destroying one of the trucks. Sadly, this was only the beginning of the destruction that would occur.
On March 3, at approximately 1:20am, the car yard was targeted once again. This time, the culprits broke in and used an accelerant to set a Scania prime mover ablaze. This resulted in two other trucks catching fire, adding to the already devastating damage. Surveillance footage captured the group fleeing the scene in a black Ford sedan.
The total cost of the damage caused by these two fires is estimated to be at least $1 million, leaving the business owners and workers in shock and disbelief. Both incidents are being treated as suspicious by the police, who are working tirelessly to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
It's truly disheartening to see such destruction and loss caused by these senseless acts. The authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, as they continue to piece together the events leading up to these devastating fires. In the meantime, the car yard will have to pick up the pieces and rebuild, as they try to move forward from this tragic event.
