Firebug returns to Ilam, Burnside<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
POLICE FEAR for<br />
residents safety as arson<br />
attacks ramp up again after<br />
a lull in Burnside and Ilam.<br />
The police are investigating<br />
after six wheelie bins<br />
were set alight in the early<br />
hours of Saturday morning.<br />
Those working the case<br />
are urging the perpetrator<br />
to talk to police before<br />
anyone is seriously hurt,<br />
detective sergeant Michael<br />
Freeman said.<br />
Four bins were burnt<br />
on Westburn Tce, one on<br />
Chevron Pl and the last bin<br />
was set alight on Greers Rd.<br />
A garage on Chevron<br />
Pl was also damaged by<br />
fire.<br />
“Police are treating the<br />
incidents as arson and<br />
believe they are linked to<br />
previous wheelie bin fires<br />
in the area,” detective sergeant<br />
Freeman said.<br />
The previous four attacks<br />
happened in May but there<br />
had been a period of at<br />
least a month where there<br />
had been no fires.<br />
Greers Rd resident James<br />
Wallace, whose flaming<br />
bin scorched the side of his<br />
home while his children<br />
were asleep in May, said it<br />
would eventually end in<br />
loss of life.<br />
“It’s attempted murder,<br />
the wheelie bin was up<br />
against the house and<br />
could’ve set it on fire and<br />
someone could’ve died,”<br />
Mr Wallace said.<br />
He said he was doing<br />
a letterbox drop telling<br />
people to keep their bins<br />
hidden.<br />
Residents in the area<br />
have also been told by<br />
police to keep their wheelie<br />
bins out of sight and off<br />
the road, even behind their<br />
house.<br />
Police are seeking reports<br />
of anyone acting suspiciously<br />
around Westburn<br />
Tce, Chevron Pl and Greers<br />
Rd between midnight and<br />
1.30am on Saturday morning<br />
as well as any security<br />
footage.<br />
And if people have not<br />
yet reported an arson on<br />
or around their property,<br />
they should contact police<br />
immediately.<br />
Anyone with information<br />
should phone 363 7400<br />
or to speak to Crimestoppers<br />
anonymously on 0800<br />
