Officers from Leichhardt Police Area Command are investigating a number of fires that appear to have been deliberately lit across Glebe overnight.
About 11.40pm (Monday 15 October 2019), emergency services were called to Norton Street where a fire caused damage to a shop front.
Minutes later, officers responded to calls of a fire on the front veranda of a home on Campbell Street; minor damage was sustained to the exterior and one female resident was evacuated.
Emergency services then responded to calls of a garage fire in Derwent Lane which quickly spread to a neighbouring garage causing extensive damage prior to being extinguished.
Officers were then called to Campbell Street where a terrace was found to be well alight. A male resident was evacuated and taken to hospital for observation.
Soon after, emergency services responded to a car fire on Westmoreland Street.
Multiple crime scenes have been established and a joint investigation has commenced with Fire and Rescue NSW.
Investigators are seeking information from anyone with information that could assist.
