Police in Melbourne investigate a continuing arson spree after six cars are firebombed in separate attacks across the city over a single night, with investigators looking for links between incidents.
ABC reports the pattern continues into a fourth night, including driveway car firebombings that destroy multiple vehicles and, in one case, damage a home. Other outlets add that the week’s total of cars destroyed is rising—ABC says 11 cars have been destroyed across the city this week—and one report describes an attempted arson attack targeting a fruit shop alongside the car firebombings. Overall coverage agrees the attacks occur overnight and involve multiple locations, indicating an ongoing, coordinated pattern that police are treating as related.
