In Taylors Hill, north-west Melbourne, a botched firebombing incident occurred early on Monday morning involving two vehicles parked at a residential property on Woolwich Way. A teenage boy, alleged to be an arsonist, was found inside a white Hyundai Tucson that had been reported stolen from Hoppers Crossing the previous day and was severely burned. The teenager attempted to flee but did not succeed due to his injuries. Emergency services rushed him to the Royal Children's Hospital in critical condition.
Authorities are investigating possible links to organized crime, as two other individuals reportedly fled on foot before police arrived at the scene. A local resident expressed no sympathy for the arsonist, stating that those who engage in such acts risk severe consequences. Police are now utilizing phone data from platforms like WhatsApp to trace the origins of the order given to carry out this firebombing.
