AN UNKNOWN man has caused damage to a house in Cranbourne during an attempted arson attack.
At about 9.40am on Friday 30 September, a male was seen exiting a small red hatchback car and approaching a house on William Street.
The man then poured a flammable liquid on the front window of the house but was not able to ignite it.
Having failed his first attempt, the man then threw a glass bottle of liquid though the window of the house, breaking both the window and the bottle.
The man then left the scene of his failed attack in the same small red hatchback.
Police ask anyone who may have seen any suspicious people or cars in the area to contact Casey CIU or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
