BREAKING: Two men have been arrested outside a burning building owned by millionaire entrepreneur David “Hollywood” Deicke following a dramatic firebombing incident in Melbourne early this morning. The blaze at the Melbourne Collision Repair Centre occurred around 3:40 AM on Friday, marking the latest in a series of suspicious attacks on Deicke’s businesses.
Authorities report that police on patrol in Laverton quickly spotted the flames and responded immediately. One of the arrested men sustained non-life-threatening injuries and has been taken to the hospital under police guard. The other suspect is expected to be interviewed by detectives as the investigation unfolds.
Just one hour later, emergency services tackled a second fire at AutoSport Prestige, a luxury car dealership located on Taunton Drive in Cheltenham. Firefighters arrived to find the establishment engulfed in flames, with most of the 90 high-end vehicles inside suffering damage from fire and smoke. The blaze took nearly two hours to control and spread to a nearby building, prompting police to treat this incident as suspicious as well.
Authorities are currently investigating the potential connections between the two fires, which raises concerns about ongoing threats to Deicke’s businesses. This alarming series of incidents comes just two months after the initial arson attack on Deicke’s properties.
As the situation develops, police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The impact of these attacks on local businesses and the community at large is significant, heightening fears of safety in the area.
Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
