House torched

30/04/2008

A HOME in Hampton Park was deliberately set on fire last week.
Cranbourne police said it was lucky no one was home when parts of the house went up in flames causing about $30,000 worth of damage.
The two front bedrooms at the Fordholm Road property received substantial damage in the fire last Wednesday, 23 August at 6.30pm. Police asked for any nearby residents who had not yet been contacted by police to call the station.
Contact Senior Constable Steve Regnier at Cranbourne CIU on 5991 0600.
