Police Investigate Port Pirie Molotov Cocktail Fire

Police have released CCTV and investigations are continuing into a fire caused by a Molotov cocktail thrown into the front yard of a Port Pirie home last month.

About 4am on Thursday 10 September, the occupants of a home on Broadway Road, Risdon Park were alerted by the neighbour to a small fire in their driveway.

Police and fire crews responded and located the remains of a Molotov cocktail. The fire burnt only a small area (four square metres) of ground.

CCTV from the area shows a person in dark clothing riding a bicycle west along the southern footpath of Broadway Road, Risdon Park. The suspect then stops and throws a Molotov cocktail over the fence into the property before riding off past Senate Road, Risdon Park.

Investigators ask anyone who recognises the suspect or has any information, CCTV or dashcam footage that may assist the investigation to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or 1800 333 000.
