Someone set fire to a car yard in Melbourne and the culprits are still at large.
Last night in Melbourne's south-east, there was a destructive fire at a car yard that has police on the lookout for a group of perpetrators. The incident, which occurred around 3:30am, involved a ute being driven into a factory's roller door on Price Street in Oakleigh South, followed by the setting of the vehicle on fire.

Unfortunately, the flames quickly spread to other cars in the yard, resulting in the destruction of about 10 vehicles. The owner of the property was made aware of the situation through CCTV footage and immediately alerted emergency services. Thankfully, the quick response of 32 firefighters saved an additional 40 cars from being consumed by the blaze, including luxury vehicles like a Lamborghini and Maserati that were on display in the show room.

Despite their best efforts, the firefighters were unable to prevent minimal damage to the factory. It's been reported that the office area, which is utilized by a prayer group, was also affected by the fire. It's a devastating loss for the business and the community.

The arsonists responsible for this heinous act were last seen fleeing the scene in a getaway car. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying these individuals and are urging anyone with information to come forward. As the investigation continues, authorities are determined to uncover the motive behind this malicious attack. In the meantime, the community is left to pick up the pieces and come to terms with this senseless act of destruction.
