ACT Policing is calling for witnesses to a fire within a unit complex in Phillip at the weekend.

Sometime between 6pm Friday, March 29 and 5am Saturday, March 30 offenders have slashed the tyres of the resident’s car, set the unit on fire and stole two bicycles.

Police attended the location and saw the front door had been set alight and the inside of the unit had extensive smoke damage. The fire appeared to have self-extinguished however the unit may require a complete refurbishment.

No one was injured during the incident.

AFP Forensics attended and examined the scene.

Police would like to speak to any witnesses who saw anything suspicious between Friday and Saturday last weekend at Strathgordon Court in Phillip.

Anyone who may be able to assist with the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.

How do they know that there were 30 offenders?

Well you need one to slash the tyres and the other 29 to cheer you on and record it for Youtube!

Well, if you don’t pay your dealer this is what happens.

Maybe the car was parked on the nature strip!

Isn’t Strathgordon Court in Lyons? Or has it jumped over Melrose Drive in an attempt to escape its turbulent past?

I note from past articles that it even has its own tag on RiotAct, although not applied to this-here article..
