Bikie Arrested Over 2017 Fire

BY LAUREN FREEMANTLE

A member of Newcastle's Finks outlaw motorcycle gang has been charged with setting fire to two vans parked in a Maryland driveway.

The offence allegedly occurred on November 2nd last year as two men sleeping in their home on Berrico Avenue were alerted by a neighbour the vehicles parked outside were up in flames.

Fire and Rescue crews saved the men's home but the vans were destroyed, and yesterday police arrested a 28-year-old man with deliberately destroying property.

He's facing Newcastle Local Court today.
