Arsonists arrested

Stuff is reporting that two suspects have been arrested over one of the deadly Victorian bushfires:

LATEST: Police have arrested two suspected arsonists over the deadly bushfires in Victoria.

Sky News reported that the arrests were made in Taggerty is about 23km north of Marysville, a town of 600 people wiped out by bushfire over the weekend.

Police would not confirm that but said the arrests were made after local detectives responded to a call about suspicious behaviour in relation to the bushfires between the towns of Seymour and Yea.

"The investigation is in its initial stages," a police spokeswoman said.


Well done to the Victorian Police.
