Authorities are currently looking into a recent incident that has caused quite a stir in the New South Wales Central Coast community. It all started when a fire broke out at a popular tobacco shop in Ettalong Beach in the early hours of the morning. Thankfully, Fire and Rescue were quickly on the scene and were able to contain the blaze to the tobacco shop, preventing it from spreading to the other retail shops nearby.
According to a statement from the New South Wales Fire and Rescue department, the fire was reported at 1:44 am and was serious enough to warrant a 2nd alarm response. It's a good thing they were able to act fast and prevent further damage to the surrounding area. However, their job was far from over as the incident caught the attention of the local police.
Officers from the New South Wales Police Force arrived at the scene to launch an investigation into the cause of the fire. After assessing the situation, they have classified it as a suspicious incident and are now seeking the public's help in identifying two men who were seen entering the property with a jerry can just before the fire broke out. These individuals were then seen fleeing from the scene.
Interestingly enough, this is not the first time this particular property has been in the news recently. Just the day before, there was an alleged break-in that took place at 8:20 am. It was reported that the front windows of the shop, which is currently under construction, were smashed. One can't help but wonder if these two incidents are somehow connected.
Anyone with any information regarding either the fire or the break-in is urged to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers. The authorities are counting on the public to help them solve this case and bring those responsible to justice. Let's all do our part to keep our community safe and secure.
