Half arsed arson in Fyshwick

ACT Policing Criminal Investigation detectives are investigating an attempted arson of a business on Newcastle Street in Fyshwick on Thursday, 21 July.

About 1:00am, two male offenders driving a light coloured Toyota Echo were captured by CCTV dousing a building in petrol and attempting to ignite it. These attempts were unsuccessful, with one offender almost setting himself alight.

One male offender was dressed in grey pants, light grey long-sleeved hooded jumper, with a black vest. The second male offender was wearing dark coloured jeans and a dark coloured hooded jumper.

Police believe this incident to be Outlaw Motorcycle Gang related, and are calling on the public’s assistance in identifying the offenders.
