Pennington Shop Deliberately Damaged

Detectives are investigating after damage was caused to a gift shop and then deliberately set alight.

Just before 5am on Tuesday 15 October, a member of the public reported a shop on fire on Addison Road at Pennington.

MFS crews attended and extinguished the flames believed to be caused by accelerant used on a mattress at the front of the business premises.

It appears that a vehicle may have been driven into the front of the shop prior to the building being set alight, causing significant damage to the building structure.

Crime Scene officers will be attending to examine the scene this morning.

If anyone saw any suspicious activity in the area or has information that may assist are asked to contact Crime Stoppers. You can anonymously provide information to Crime Stoppers online at https://crimestopperssa.com.au or free call 1800 333 000.
